So another interesting part of tonight came when one of the presenters talked about insurance you can get, in case you are ever diagnosed with cancer.
When the presenter was done, I wanted to say something. What came next took me by surprise. As I started to talk, I started to cry.
I had paid for insurance in case I was hospitalized, but I didn't know that there was insurance in case you got cancer. For a few dollars more, I could have had a significant pay out when I was diagnosed.
But I never even had a clue the insurance existed. I probably would have hated to get it, given the way I think, but I also think it would have likely have been a sage investment, and even better, I would never have had to ask for a single penny from anyone else.
Interesting.
As I say that I realize that if that had been the case, if I never had to ask for anything from anyone there is likely a good chance that much of what you know of me today, and all that I have had to deal with, would have not been revealed, or revealed in a way that would have been much more "piecemealed."
Odd to consider, or say, this, but maybe it was a good thing I didn't know about it.
I would like to think I would have preferred the peace of mind I could have had knowing I had money to live on, and my bills paid off. But the trade off would have been significant. A big part of my future lies in what my past was, and what my present is. If I had had that peace of mind I would never have been able to speak to the plight of many who are in similar predicament as mine.
I have to hope and believe that it WILL work out. I have to.
But it is quite devastating for me in the process.
