Can we expand this subject of death? They have identified the body found in the river. He was a regular at the low income alchohol and drug rehabilitation, and the people who worked there are grieving his passing, although they knew it was coming soon. Some addicts have spent every night of lives at this rehab place for years, and he was one of them. Please, do not judge, because you honestly do not know these people and want brought them here, and those who do know them well, love them despite all their human imperfections. These are the people who staff the rehab center, and when their clients are rolled and beaten up, or treated badly by the police, they hurt for their clients.

The story of the man found in the river is like the story of Job. He had all the forms of hepitis, and other health problems. By age 50 his close to death. It is not known if he took his own life or if he was rolled for the money in his pocket. He had told a concerned worker he would be going sooner then expected. She knew how bad his health was. But this is not the first rehab client to be found in the river. So far it isn't known how he could have gotten to this spot on the river because he had no transportation and couldn't walk that far. It is known their are people who prey on these vulnerable people. Their reality isn't a beauty one.

What matters is that although he had serious social problems and was gruff and diseased, and many, including Springfeild police could not tolerate him, there were others who loved him and cared about him, and now cry in grief. Caring about this man, and grieving because his bed is now empty, may not make sense to many. I just want people to know, he is missed and people are grieving.

Meaning of life? I don't know. I just know sometimes our lives come together and it hurts when they are torn apart. I know people can care about people who many would see as total social rejects, and we don't have to be smart or rich or beautiful for others to care about us and our passing. If humans can be this accepting and caring of others, don't you think a God would be as loving? That is if there is one? We don't need to be worshipped to care this much about another, we just do because that is how we are.
