National Missing Persons Day
National Missing People Day, February 3rd, brings the nation's attention long enough to recognize a missing person.
It may be surprising to learn that nearly 2,300 people are reported missing every day in the United States. However, those figures no longer surprise anyone reading the survey, whether they are waiting at home for their loved one or actively looking for them.
It leaves a profound void if such a large portion of our lives goes missing. It is not a usable space. Many that have experienced it, as well as those who report 2,300 missing people per day, are aware.
Everyone has a friend, mother, sibling, child, neighbor, or coworker who sees every day. No one wants to have them mysteriously and disappear from their lives with no explanation. It's a difficult belief. One so difficult to consider, it makes it impossible to entice the interest of those unfamiliar with the missing person to become concerned.
It won't happen to me, not to me
We often think it won't happen to us. However, if a person goes missing, it can be an adult as well as a child. Women disappear more than men, and seniors are also in danger. Health risks, natural disasters, unplanned situations, and, of course, those who oppose them will be omitted from the list of statistics. They can all be applicable to us.
Many that go missing are missing people's families and friends who are missing. They need our assistance to continue the hunt and to keep the word out. Make a plan for your own family at the same time. Make it a priority to be educated and informed by taking the simple steps to be educated and informed.
Fortunately, it's much simpler than ever in today's digital age. National Missing People Day encourages you to be aware, share their names, their pictures, and bring them home to their families.
