Well, sometimes things just don't work out the way you'd hope. If you'll recall, last September, I posted for smoke and prayers for a friend of mine who had gone missing. Unfortunately, sometimes good wishes aren't enough. Yesterday, they found his body.
It was a pretty hard thing, searching in vain for him. He had left a suicide note, but since an exhaustive search turned up no body, we all sort of maintained some hope that he was just avoiding the world someplace. Yesterday, as the country club was beginning to open their pool for the season, they discovered a body that had been there under the cover for a long time. Today, dental matches confirmed that it was Paul.
Pretty big let-down. It's sad that a friend could get to such a point. At least there is closure now, and everybody can finally know with certainty what happened.
I thank you all for your support, and wish you all the best. Give your loved ones a hug, ok?
