Let me start out by saying my heart is w/ those that have family or friends who died or can not be contacted. my hopes are w/ those going to help. my thoughts are going out to all those who are family or friends of the victims.
this has saddened me greatly and put me in a state of fear.

just when i thought that this was as bad as it gets things get even worse for me.
i have a friend i've been trying to contact for the past two years. well, i was on some local message boards seeing how people around here were doing, when i seen the two posts. my friend (no doubt it was him.) has been missing for 11 days. in the posts it said he had been very depressed for a few days before he dissapeared. when i had known him, he had been suicidial. and w/out friends to cheer him up, or the right friends i should say, he was like sugar in the rain. i wish i knew where he is, if he's ok. i wish i had been able to find him. please, find a small tiny space to fit in a prayer for us.
