I'll try to say this in a non-spoiler way, in case you watch Grey's Anatomy (one of my two hours of must-see TV each week) but haven't seen this past week's episode. There was a theme that came up a couple of times: what if you went missing, and you had no one in your life to notice? No one but just those you encounter in everyday-to-day interactions — who could explain away you being gone until they didn't realize how long it had been?
And then I read this over at CNN.com. How incredibly, incredibly sad.
Really makes me wonder.....but I think I'm so innundated with friends and family that it wouldnt' be long. They would miss my obnoxious loud smart-ass nature before too long. I once had a funeral director friend who went and removed a body from an apartment that had been dead for 2 weeks. ick, gross, choke. And sad...very sad. I think it may be more common that we think. Did you get my email???
ReplyDeleteI read that this morning... how very sad - one can only hope that he had no family... if he had living family then that is even more sad...
ReplyDeleteI, too, was sad to watch the CNN clip last week. And then I realized that I don't know enough about my neighbors. The man across the street I haven't seen in months.

On the flip side, your comment at Spider's today led me to your Gospel According to Mall. I loved it. I laughed. It made me feel good.
