A man named Ben came to visit today.
He was an insurance agent.
Said he was here about your life insurance policy.
Why didn't you ever tell me about it?
You always told me that you would always take care of me.
Even in death you've kept that promise.
"The policy had a one million dollar benefit," Ben said. "It doubles in cases of accidental death."
I'm not sure how to process this…it's so much money and I'm listed as the sole beneficiary.
Ben told me you met with him and set things up a year ago…right around when we started to seriously talk about having children.
He told me you wanted to have something in place that would take care of your family.
Neither of us ever thought that your family would only ever be me…we always thought we'd be surrounded by the pitter-patter of tiny little feet…that we'd grow old surrounded by children and grandchildren.
I called Edward after Ben left.
He's going to help set me up with some sort of financial advisor so the money is invested properly.
You'd be so proud of your brother.
He's like you…he's a good man.
