well the young man from Safeway just popped by. He's the friend D hopes to move in with in the fall. The bad news is D is not with the twins. A will put the word out to the wider group. Dan has missed some shifts at work-so yes if I do not hear by Mon. that's worth notifying RCMP.

On the other hand D was online Thurs, briefly in a game-but hasn't been seen online since.

Turns out my mom e-mailed my middle and said D was thinking her estrangement was his fault. That explains her e-mail.
 
Thinking of you, Tabitha. My boy is somewhere hitchhiking on the TransCanada right now (although he thought he'd be in Edmonton by last night). He's been checking in when he can, but there's gaps, and we're Moms, so we worry.
 
Yes Bette traveling by hitch hiking is worrisome.
Pinga-It's unusual for D to miss shifts. So I opened his pile of mail. He's missed mental health appointments as well.
 
Well Pinga I found out at 10 Fri. night. I'll let the word go out through friends today and tomorrow and probably start with Dr. on Monday.
E knows that D is "away" and I don't know when exactly he'll be back. I think that's enough worry for a brother at this point.
I expect after Dr. It will be police. They'll have me put it out on Facebook.

My middle did this once when still living at home. (That's when D discovered middle had 2 FB profiles male and female). Anyhow middle resurfaced 3 hours after FB posting and ploce notification. Sent me an e-mail and claimed phone and computer were broken. Hopped on a bus and came home. Never did figure out what that was about-if they had said "visiting friends for a week-see you Mon" I would have said "have fun"

How bizarre my life as a parent has been that I've been through this before...........
 
Thinking of you Tabitha, I hope he contacts you soon. Does he have instagram, twitter or other profiles like that?
 
Still holding you in my thoughts.
Leading worship tomorrow - using the story of Absalom's death and the parable of the Prodigal son to speak about family relationships - and how our love (and God's love) continues even when estranged.
 
OK called both my sisters to alert them and then posted a where's D on facebook. I'll do a missing person's report tomorrow if I haven't heard anything by then. My oldest can't find him on FB either-as my niece who was FB friends can't as well.

Sending you loads of strength and best wishes for D' safe return home.
 
Tis a stressful time in your life when family parts go missing to to whatever reasons ... been there and done that ... an ongoing process ...

Some seem to be able to manage with just denial that something is amiss ... a form of loss of care? I just don't understand the extremism in the human psyche ... I keep observing ...

If you say something about strange aberrations in appearances, say it odd so people won't think you are doing critical analysis ...

Provides a place for chaotic thoughts in poetry ... as in High Flight ...

Some neuroscientists say we have a dark spot in the mind that few know anything about ... but then some firm believers say that our soul is preserved somewhere else ... alternate recall? That could be the pitz or a pity with mortal mental process as chaotic as it is in overly industrial situations when people have no time to stop and think .. a state supported by authority that gains from the work of lesser people. Thus the effort towards industriousness moves onward ... towards whatever ...

One must accept this as socially supported ... when many believe this crappy effort that's common among us ... John Crapper in old parody ... or how community flushes itself out ... some say brain wash ... white washing as bright absence?

I think that's a good idea. Thinking of you, and D, Tabitha.
 
Damn. When my daughter went out of contact for 5 days or so a few years ago, she was back in contact within an hour of the facebook message going out. Still haven't heard anything from D. We checked our landline for incoming and out going calls the day I left. Nothing. His brother tried to get into his computer-he apparently has a memory stick somewhere with his passwords-couldn't find it. His bank cards and credit card are here.
 
Hi Tabitha, this is so much more worrying with the additional info. I hope you have called the police already. Do not be concerned about being hasty or a bother to them. He is your son. You are worried. As I said earlier, I hope he surfaces soon. Sending a hug.
 
Missing persons report started with police. It's going Canada wide. I am awaiting a call back from officer but file is opened.
My eldest editted photo so it's just Daniel now. We also checked call logs on landline and no incoming or outgoing calls to alert us. Tried to check Dan's sim card on phone but it wouldn't fir in either of our phones. Many folks have reposted on FB.
 
Prayerful support - uplifting you and yours at this time Tabitha. I hope you have let your own pastoral support people know of the situation, that you might have a circle of support close by around you as you wait.
