In2 here, 

 

Posting my "feelings" about this young, young life lost.  My co-worker knew this young man.  Although I hardly ever watched the news I remember seeing the interview part of this on the Tv in passing,... his mother (i found out later) saying she hoped he's okay.  I didn't know the connection till much later.

My coworker talked about going to the funeral (after they found him
 of course) she showed me his picture the next day when she returned from the funeral. when she showed me the picture his face captured me in a strange way,... it was almost like I "seen" him live.  My heart is racing as I recollect,...his face is almoststuck in my mind's eye,... I can close my eyes and see it like the first time.  I felt very peaceful when looking at the picture.  there is no negativity.  I do feel sad for his family, but I feel that is me feeling sad about the situation.  He jsut had a baby a week prior to going missing.

I call myself an emotional person,.. putting myself in another's position  when situations like these happen,.. ie.  sad movies,... love stories,.. peoples shared experiences and hardships,... all of these have potential to make me cry,.. but only for the moment,..

and when people pass I normally dont ponder it,.. mainly because I haven't had to deal with it and dont like the thought.   But this, is stuck,.. now i am not obessing it is not interfereing with my daily, but it has touched me beyond the norm, or at least what i feel is the norm for me,... a few years ago my best friend from highschool bro passed which i semi knew and been around several times and his didn't bother me nearly as much as this has.  Maybe bother is the wrong term,.. hover is the word.  Just yesterday i started talking about it out of the blue with my husband, and he asked confused,.."why are you still talking about that?"  (I had expressed that it was bothering me fri. )

I would see a jet ski and immediatly think about the situation.  anyway.

 

All that I have gotten is that he is okay, peaceful,.. I passed the message via my co-worker.

 

Sincerely In2.
