What is 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
