Missing person...

[tgrayfic]

There's a doctor that has worked for our company as a fill in for twenty years or so. Saturday afternoon, he disappeared. He was at another Pearle Vision owned by another doctor in the area. He left to go buy a lottory ticket across the street and planned to meet his wife an hour and a half later. He never showed up and no one has heard from him since. It's scary to think of the possibilities. Anyone owed a favor by the man upstairs?

News story

Definitely saying a prayer for his family tonight.

When she was in college my sister was dating a guy.
The rumor was that his father was... um... connected.
And I don't mean like the electric company.

Anyway, one day he disappeared. Gone. Poof. As in
no longer in the picture. The cops investigated
and found nothing. That was 20 years ago. I asked
my sister about it recently and she said that the
guy told her that they seriously didn't know if
he was dead or just "gone" somewhere -- who knows
where?

Creepy.

Things like that just give me chills. Okay, the 'connected' part is creepy in itself. But just the thought that someone can disappear, never to be heard from again.

*sighs* In this case, I am trying to hope for the best. I saw the news broadcast and watched his wife. I can't imagine what she's going through.

He had a wife and three kids. They never heard
a word from him. Eventually he was declared dead,
but the guy never convinced that he really was dead.

so sad...

[tgray.livejournal.com]

I'm still hoping for a happy ending, but it's hard when he'd have no reason to just disappear.

God, that's horrible. Stories like that always freak me out. Just...poof. Into thin air.

[tgray.livejournal.com]

Me too. To think anyone... your family, friend, etc. could just suddenly be gone. It's so scary.

God, that is awful. I'll send out positive thoughts for a good outcome. Whenever things like this happen, and it's horrible that they really do, seems like everyone remember similar events. I can think of two in my area in the past 15 or so years; neither of them had happy endings. :(

I'm not very opptimistic, but still hoping.

[tgray.livejournal.com]

It is. And it's scary because it can happen to anyone!

[my2cats.livejournal.com]

That is so terrible.
I can't even imagine how much pain his family is in right now.
I hope everything turns out alright.

[tgray.livejournal.com]

I can imagine not knowing is worse than anything.

[gaeln.livejournal.com]

Anything I think to say sounds silly, just trite. I'm so sorry for his family, for him and am keeping good thoughts.

[tgray.livejournal.com]

Good thoughts are good enough!

:-\

[tgray.livejournal.com]

Pretty much sums it up.

[wildsweet-angel.livejournal.com]

How horrible for his family. Although it doesn't sound good, I'm hoping for the best outcome possible, and that he is reunited with them. I'll say a prayer...maybe the man upstairs will hear.

[tgray.livejournal.com]

Yeah. 3 days now and no word. *sighs*

No news. And yeah, that's the thing. Not knowing would kill me! Even bad news would be something in this case.

From one who has been blocked for a long time, also, in many ways. Just keep going and following whatever it is that interests you, you are curious about. Through the frustration and the almost giving up.

It comes; the creative process never fails; it just seems like it, at times. for long times.

My best
For give me. Do not mean to intrude or be saying something I don't haven't earned the right to say to you. Just struck me right where I live.

He was found 10 states away 3 weeks later. He's undergoing medical treatment because he doesn't know how he got there. It'a ll very bizaree. But at least they found him and he's okay.

Please, don't apologize. Any advice is great advice! I find myself writing chapters, deleteing, re-writing, and then sitting for a hour to find I've written one paragraph. Yes, frustrated is definitely the key word. I keep saying eventually, this MUST go away. Thank you for the encouragement!

You've had me worrying about this man and his family for weeks. He was found on April 5. WHY didn't you post earlier that he was found? To be blunt, that was rude and inconsiderate--here we are, worrying about strangers because of a post you made, but you don't get around to saying he's found until April 26??? Three weeks later.

Re your fiction--please just keep plugging away, gently. You'll get there. And I and others will be happy to have more of it to read.

And maybe you could change the colors on your site? This red makes it very hard to read what you're typing.
