Reg & Summer will appreciate my use of alliteration there...let me tell you what my darling readers, it is exceptionally unkind to let a family/friend, whom you know is inclined to worry, worry. Yes, worry is an unkind, unmotivating, uninspiring, flinchingly fail-tastic, kind of emotion that allows one to dwell on worrisome things. FOR EXAMPLE, tonight, my dears, a family friend is missing. Not send out a squad car, call the media, missing, but missing nevertheless. We received (well my mom received) more than three phone prior to noon this morning with no voice mail (very unlike the friend in question). The car has not been home since this morning (as far as we know), and this friend doesn't like/can't drive at night. She is with a toddler and a husband who likewise dislikes driving at night. They are older than fifty, and always let someone (namely my family) know where they are going, when they will be back, and why they are going there. WHY, do you ask? Because we are a community of police officers/police officers' families and that is what we do. It's a safety precaution (highly recommended btw, especially if you're a college student REG). So no word, no lights, no one home, no car, no one is answering a cell phone (including their daughter in Texas), and it's midnight here. I feel as though tonight will be a sleepless (or sleep-little) one and I pray that wherever they are, they are safe and will let us know so in the morning. SO my dearest readers, my quest for you (in addition to praying they're safe) is to never let those who worry, have cause to worry about you. No matter how annoying the worry may seem, it is out of care and concern for your general health & well-being.
Adieu,

TELL ME YOUR FRIEND IS OKAY.
