Dear John Doe,
I was in a bad mood today, feeling sorry for myself because I was tired, grumpy, and had to deal with people I really do not like. I was mad because I had to be there at 8, because I had to take care of paperwork, loan forms, and other crap.
But then I saw the cops outside by the river...we went out and there you were. I do not know who you were, the news said you were a "nobody" and left without turning the camera on. Your death was not newsworthy. The cops shrugged and said you were probably a homeless man with no family, you did not match any of their missing person reports. While I might never know your name, thank you. Thank you for reminding me that I have a wonderful life and that I should appreciate all my blessings. That I am so lucky to have a home, family, and friends who would care if I was gone. That I am loved and and that I have those to love. My problems are just minor things that come along with all the fortunate things in my life.
Thank you for reminding me to stop feeling sorry for myself and to thank God for my wonderful life.
Even if you do not have a family to miss you, I am crying for your passing and pray for your soul and having a beer for you...here is to you...
May God bless you,
Jesse Kaye
