I love to compare life insurance. I like to see what the different rates are. I like to know what the benefits are. I like to look at insurance quotes in general. But see, the problem is that I am thirteen, and these kinds of things shouldn't bother me.But they do and I really don't know why. I have to think about them all the time because when my dad died, he didn't have life insurance. WE had to pay for everything, and so now, we have nothing. My mother is too proud to move back in with my grandparents, so I have to go to school hungry and go to bed hungry. The school pays for my lunch. I wish they could pay for everything else too.I bet that some of the kids at school could pay for us. They don’t have to compare life insurance. Their parents have already done that. I bet that a long time ago they set aside a big chunk of time to compare life insurance, to make sure that is anything ever happened to them their family would be okay.But my dad didn't. I'm not saying that it was bad of him; we couldn't have afforded another monthly payment as it was. My parents were already paying for phone bills, cable, water, electricity, not to mention rent and taxes. I bet there were other things too. Like my mom's cigarettes when my dad started getting sick. He told her to stop and quit worrying about him. He said he would be fine. But we all knew that he wouldn't. He wasn't going to be fine. WE weren't going to be fine.And so now I am going to run away. I am going to pack up all my things in my suitcase and run some place that is safe. Someplace that has electricity and heating and water. I am going to run away and never come back. My mom will follow me. She will know where I am going. She will follow if she cares about m.But I am not sure that she will come anymore. After daddy dies she doesn't really care much about anything. I miss her. I miss how she would read stories to me until it was so late and I was so tired, that I couldn't hold my eyes open. But not anymore. And now I am running away.I am running away to a place where I don't need to compare life insurance. I am running away to my grandparents.
