I dont think I fully have come to terms that he is gone, and like you, I knew this was a possiblility, but never prepared myself for the actual day. I thought my father was invincible, or things like that just don't happen to US. Now I feel empty, alone, and I can completely understand your emotions as if they were my own. I wonder how will I get through the next few weeks, months, year... because I remember this year and him being so sick vividly as if the year just started. I wonder how will I feel 18 years from now - or will I be able to paint such a vivid picture as if it happened yesterday. I feel guilty to keep living with so much pain. Life seems completely unfair. I guess I am looking online for some sort of validation that I am not alone in how I feel. I am tired of people saying, "I can only imagine how you feel"... because in reality, you can't. However, there are those out there who do know how I feel, and it is those people I feel connected to because we all belong to this strange club. Sorry to ramble... but I appreciate your blog.

A very active baby. Now I have two fine sons to carry me on. It's another blustery day. Grey and windswept. I feel like I could explode. ============= Quote from William Lorentz : June 14th, 1976 : 4:26 AM

]]> Comment on Costs continue to rise, parents work to stretch food dollars for school meals by Jack http://www.jasonlorentz.com/2008/09/07/costs-continue-to-rise-parents-work-to-stretch-food-dollars-for-school-meals/#comment-16 Jack Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:47:04 +0000 http://www.jasonlorentz.com/?p=50#comment-16 Perhaps parents should start to think about moving to cheaper states, those with lower real estate taxes and no sales tax. Delaware for example, has no sales tax, and real estate tax is 5 times lower than other states in the Northeast. From what I hear schools are also getting greater focus in Delaware, due to the surge in new home construction, so private schools in Delaware could be a thing of the past ... for the most part.

]]> Comment on Just one more phone call. by Teddy http://www.jasonlorentz.com/2008/08/05/just-one-more-phone-call/#comment-2 Teddy Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:33:06 +0000 http://www.jasonlorentz.com/?p=3#comment-2 This is a bit harsh, isn't it. How did the father pay for the trip to Breckenridge? Working, that's how! Perhaps he had an important business call, and he couldn;t miss it. Vacations are great, but nowadays work never seems to stop if you want to get ahead. The only place you can go on vacation without the cell phone is somewhere where ATT and Verizon don't go yet. Hey, look ... those 2 comm. giants don't reach Patten, ME ... maybe I'll go there, to get away from all the BS of everyday. This is a bit harsh, isn’t it.
