My friend reported his wife as missing Saturday night, and they found her body Sunday.

[Redstone]

No details, so please don't ask.

But the lesson is this: Cherish who you have, every day. Because you don't know if they'll be here tomorrow.

Redstone

[evlbstrd]

1. I'm sorry for your friend.

And for you. The lesson is a hard one, indeed.

[cwydro]

2. OMG

that is awful.

I don't know what to say.

[Lyric]

3. I do, Redstone.

After losing my father the horrific way that I did, I never ever take tomorrow for granted. The last thing ThinkBlue1966 hears from me every time she leaves the house is a heartfelt (not automatic) "I love you more than anything and I'll miss you like hell every second you're gone" (or some variation thereof).

I am very sorry for your friend. Please let him know that he's in my thoughts.

[Redstone]

7. Thank you. I do much the same with Mrs R. Because you never know.

Redstone

[u4ic]

4. How awful...

just awful...:(

My heart goes out to your friend. :hug:

[Nickster]

5. Geez, I can't even imagine that happening. So Sorry. n/t

[justice1]

6. I couldn't imagine what your going through, my thoughts are with you.

[Redstone]

10. Thanks, but it's what HE is going through that counts. He spent Sunday being grilled by the cops,

as you can imagine.

God damn, what it must be like to lose your wife, and then have the cops work you over? They have to do that, of course, but it must be excruciating.

32. Hi Redstone. I was an insurance investigator in Massachusetts, and you know

that most homicides are perpetrated by a member of the deceased person's family or friends.

I know the statistics back this up, but nevertheless, it must be terribly hard. I can't even imagine it. Is this a professional man? Did he employ a lawyer? Are there any kids involved? Anyway, just curious. You don't have to answer this if you don't want to -- or can't.

[Redstone]

35. I can't giveyou any details.

Redstone

[Radio_Lady]

80. Redstone, I apologize for the little dust-up below. I didn't intend it to happen and hope you

understand.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. I'm so sorry

No words - just so sorry.

[Guava Jelly]

11. That is just Fuc_ing horrible!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpe_diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace (Odes 1.11). It is usually translated "seize the day".

One interpretation of the phrase might be as an existential cautionary term, much like "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" with emphasis on making the most of current opportunities because life is short and time is fleeting
I wish their family's peace .And Many :hug: :grouphug:

[bridgit]

[Redstone]

17. We're liike that, too. Pretty much always together. Thansk you. Speaking of which,

[SeattleGirl]

16. Oh Redstone, that's so very sad.

There aren't any words adequate for this situation. All I can do is extend condolences to your friend.

[elfrangel]

18. Hugs to you and your friend...

I cannot even imagine...I am so sorry.

[mike_c]

19. damn, I cannot imagine the grief your friend must be going through....

That is awful.

[Xipe Totec]

20. I am beyond words.

I hope she did not suffer.

[Az]

21. I am so sorry to hear this

I always make it a point to tell those I care about I love them. You never know when a person needs to hear such a thing or when your last chance may be to say it.

Go rent the play Our Town.

[Pithlet]

22. How awful.

I'm so sorry, Redstone. What a shocking, horrible thing to happen.

[BreweryYardRat]

23. Well, shit.

I'm never good with comforting words, so...:hug:

[Darth_Kitten]

27. I'm so sorry for your friend.......

:hug:

[graywarrior]

28. My brother goes missing every few years.

But at least he shows up alive. That is so intense to have to deal with Redstone. I am so sorry to hear this.

[Redstone]

37. I used to do that. Drove my parents nuts. Now I wish I hadn't.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

43. Me, too. You don't realize how awful it is for the people waiting for you.

I located my brother about 2 months ago. He does not know I found him. He needs to stay away, and I understand that. I am just happy he is alive. He hangs with some very dangerous people.

[ikojo]

29. OMG...that sucks.

I am so sorry for your friend.

:hug:

[Taverner]

30. Agreed

:hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. What a horrible shock.

I'm so sorry for his loss and the terrible circumstances. Right at the holidays too.
My heart goes out to him. He's lucky to have a friend like you who cares. :hug:

[Redstone]

36. Fortunately, this is a guy with family and friends by the multiple dozens.

Can't imagine how he'd cope otherwise.

Redstone

[NC_Nurse]

41. I'm glad to hear that.

He'll need a lot of support! I'll be thinking of him.

I'm always reminded at work to tell my loved ones how special they are to me. You never know what might happen tomorrow.
I saw a Christmas card today that said, "The past is history, the future a mystery, but today is a gift - that's why it's called the present."

[Redstone]

42. Today is all we have. All that any of us have.

Redstone

[bicentennial_baby]

"You get what anyone gets...You get a lifetime"
