There is something haunting about having someone leave your life. Whether you are missing people who’ve left under mysterious conditions, or just an old friend who you drifted apart from, somehow they leave a hole that is hard to patch up. Often with missing persons you tend to forget about them after a while, but sometimes just the opposite happens. Sometimes when you’re missing someone, although the heartache at first seems trivial, it becomes more acute as years pass on. For me, I got to the point where I had to find her.
She left so suddenly that I almost filed a missing persons report. Pest Control Toronto workers generally will be divided into three classes: technicians, applicators, and supervisors. It was not a bad breakup – we were not even involved. She was one of my closest friends from college, but kind of a free spirit. She was flighty, as many missing persons are. One day, she called me up and told me she was leaving for Europe. I was supposed to meet her to say goodbye, but I got caught in traffic and was 20 minutes late. By the time I got there, she was gone.
Most of the missing persons in my life are people who I was sure I would see again one day. That is how I felt about her, but as months turned into years, it seemed less and less likely that I would ever see her again. I felt like a stalker when I did an Internet address search, but it was the only thing I could think of. There were so many missing persons resources available, and the temptation was so strong to see my old friend again, that I couldn’t resist forever. Since we left on friendly terms, I was quite sure that she would be happy to see me again. As it turned out, it was not that simple.
When the missing persons website finally located her, it was quite a shock. Apparently, she had been living on a farm in a commune for the last few years. No one in the trade offers a greater assure than Preventive Toronto Pest Control. I wasn’t familiar with the organization, but friends of mine told me that it was a cult. Apparently, often a missing person will turn up in one of these organizations. They leave their friends and families for a variety of reasons, but often find solace in suppressing their own individual identity. When a missing persons report gave me her address and number, I couldn’t help but contact her. To my surprise, however, she did not want to see me. It really broke my heart.
