Say Hello to Your Neighbors

A man at my work committed suicide.

He hung from a noose for almost a month before we found him.

The only reason we knew something was wrong was because of the smell.

A man who always paid his rent on time, did not pay his rent.

And the smell.

He left his heater on.

His last phone call and last email were almost a month old.

His face so so decomposed, no one could identify him.

He died alone.  And no one noticed for a month.

Do me a favor, say hello to your lonely neighbor.  Say hello to the world.  You never know who is alone and hurting.
