Yes, this is my family's story. My dad was an amazing dad. Rough-house play-master, Cub Scout "Denfather," camping leader, hockey & running coach, fishing buddy, best man, business partner, mentor, friend.
But my dad never knew his dad. Norman, Sr., died when my dad was just three-months old. He was raised by a single, working mom who also became the primary caregiver to her blind, frail mother after her father died. A "sandwich generation" pioneer. And yet, I believe the financial security my grandfather left his young family more than 80 years ago enabled my dad to grow up confidently to be the best dad my sister and I could ever imagine. Great-great Grandpa Norman is still loving the 5th generation of Comforts now coming into the world thanks to a life-insurance-funded legacy. My dad, who made his career as an insurance agent, liked to say: "I think my father had a very good 'long-term care' plan." Did you catch the amount? $50,000 in 1938. That is equal to almost $1-million today. But Irene, my grandmother, lived another 61 years after Norman, Sr., died. The financial and personal security that money enabled is still paying dividends as Norman's and Irene's great-great grandchildren are now being born! |

"Rinny Did It" was first published in the Rabbit Hole of the Monday Morning Memo on 3/16/2020. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're missing some magic!
I was inspired to write this story by The Wizard of Ads.
Since 1995, I've been reading a weekly publication on advertising, marketing, sales, business, writing, the human brain, life, love, faith, music, art, dogs, and many other random things that are critically important. I used to get it by fax on a single page, then came the internet. It drops into my e-mailbox at the start of every week, or I can wander out and find it online. It's called the Monday Morning Memo. You should sign up for your own weekly copy!
Early this year, I fell into the Memo's "rabbit hole" and ended up reading a very short story about a dog. The Wizard challenged readers to try to write a shorter story, but it had to include a dog. "Rinny Did It."
