A Raggedy Reminder About Life Insurance
“Your bedrooms are right upstairs” the kind lady at the host home gestured.
It was my senior year in high school when I toured DC with my Christian chorus. We visited areas such as Arlington Cemetery, the Capital, and the Lincoln Memorial. For the evenings, good-hearted people who attended our concerts would open their homes to a few of us, and we’d hit the road again the next morning. Three of us walked upstairs.
Dolls. Dolls. DOLLS. On the couch. Along the walls. Hanging from light fixtures. Printed on pillowcases. Even ornamented throughout the decorative tree. If I’d paid closer attention on the way in, my survival instincts might’ve caught the license plate — a subtle reference to the renowned Raggedy Ann doll.
“Sometimes I forget they’re there.” The host home lady observed. The dolls slipped to the unconscious part of her mind, which that can be true for many looming realities.
Back then, I didn’t think much of it. As a teen, I had no dependents and no responsibilities. Death wasn’t on my radar. But life changes. I have a family now. If I’m not here, I want them to be taken care of. No one knows the day they’ll leave the earth, but many know the legacy they want to leave behind. The looming reality is that, just as dolls are everywhere, so are the perils of this world.
That’s why I needed life insurance. After starting a family, it was time to button up my future, patch up uncertainty, and stitch together a policy stuffed to the seams with security.

“You know, David, I think I’d sleep better on the bunk bed rather than alone in the doll room. It’s a little too quiet. Mind if we switch?”
