"I couldn't agree more. I have faced the same issue. My friends have all gone away. I don't even get the phone call to check on me. I will call or see some on occasion and you can see how uncomfortable they are around me. I like what the…"

"Joyce,
My insurance went up when I took Torrey off it because she was over 50 and I got the discount. I figured it would go down but it went up something like $40 for the year. I was better of keeping her on the policy. LOL"

I am also sorry for your loss.
I totally understand what you were trying to and what you did say and I agree. It is not for everyone and I bet everyone who tries online dating has problems with it, either rude people claiming they want a…"

"Hi Ladies,
I feel like I need to add a guys point of view here. I lost my wife back on December 1, 2001. I decided to re-enter the dating world back in July when my 12 and 13 year old daughters told me it was time. I joined eHarmony and Match. I did…"

Me: So how are you doing?
Myself: I am doing okay.
Me: Not very convincing.
Myself: Why not? What do you mean.
Me: You always say your okay. Everybody you tell that to can sense your not okay. I think your kidding yourself.
Myself: Why is it that everything I say over the past year or so is analyzed? Why can't you and everyone else just accept that if I say I am okay that means I am okay. Nothing more, nothing less.
Me: Okay, okay. Touchy aren't…

I wish I could take credit for this but I can't. This is from George Strait
Had a nice little life
A little boat a little beach
A little routine I liked
A blue ocean view
Free to go with the flow
Anywhere that I wanted to

That's when I knew
There's a difference in
Living and living well
You can't have it all
All by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone…

I have always tried to pride myself on my ability to adapt and adjust to any situation that has been presented to me. I think it is what makes me a good high school teacher and coach, every situation and child we deal with are a little different and it is not a one size fits all, cookie cutter world we work or live in. My wife and I wanted to have kids so we adopt, not one but five at once. Cancer invades our life, no problem. Take time off from work, deal with the kids, learn how to deal…

As each of us have to face death and the need to rebuild our lives I have thought about this question a lot. What is life? How do we know what life is?
I have thought about this poster, it is one of my favorites. When Torrey got sick and we knew she was going to die we faced the issue of all that…
