Megan,

I know you're angry, but your Dad is a grown man who is perfectly capable of caring for himself. Why he didn't use the alarm on his cellphone is beyond me. As far as food is concerned, he could easily go to the store and buy something ready-to-eat, like a broiled chicken from the deli, and get some candles.

It's amazing the way we, as human beings, take so many small things for granted. I can't even begin to imagine how we made it without the luxury of electricity.

As far as your Mom is concerned, give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she DID forget. Things happen.

Congratulations on your letter.

Your rant was NOT boring. We're here for you kiddo.
