A19- THE LAST LOVE LETTER

THE PROFESSIONAL LIFE ADVISER’S GUIDE (Little Gems Series)

A19. (THE PRODUCT) - THE LAST LOVE LETTER

After the flowers have been cleared out of the house and the sympathy notes all acknowledged... After the relatives have all gone home and the kids are gradually getting back to normal... Then is when she’ll wander about the house - noting all the little things that say you.

The book you were reading, the book mark still where you placed it... The souvenirs of last summer’s vacation... The camera film you had forgotten to take to the drug store... Your golf clubs looking lonesome... Your favourite record still on the turntable. All these things will recall memories and bring sorrow and tears...

All except one... There on your desk, the all important pile of papers - the bank book, the hospital and funeral bills, the mortgage. The receipts with your life insurance policies, with a letter of explanation from you. Policies that assure relief and hope and dignity instead of sorrow and problems...

Suddenly she will realize that your life insurance has been miraculously transformed from policies on which premiums have to be paid - to a miracle of paper and ink. It is then she will realize it is really love personified... And it is going to be with her for a long long time. Yes, there will again be tears but this time of a different kind... The kind a woman sheds in gratitude when someone she loves has not forgotten to remember.
