I know people have been worried about Mensa.
I know no one has heard from him.
I know there have been a few inquiries here concerning him.
I know, too, the the person who would have heard from him, had he chosen to contact her or been able to contact her, has also not heard from him for along while. They were very close, something they kept to themselves - but i knew, too. They didn't talk about it with me but she knew i knew and i thinkhe did, too. It wasn't my business though, and so i kept my nose out.
But i had to go to her now, had to ask her about Mensa, ask her if she had any news, if she could, would, has contacted him or heard from him lately.
She said no.
Not at all.
and she told me that she's been terribly worried, too.
She does not want to be identified. However, she knows more than any of the rest of us about what was in his mind and heart on this matter - and she's already grieving in her heart, believing him lost. With her permission, i'm posting what she told me via PM so the rest of you will know everything that anyone knows about Mensa.
Via PM, to me from the one who knows more about Mensa than the rest of us:
cym, I have to be honest, I think the worst has happened. His first heart attack was very bad and he wasn't gone this long. [Mensa] had an appointment with Nuclear Medicine on 4/24, I haven't heard from him since then. My instinct is telling me to go ahead and grieve.
Post if you want, but I'm tired of being the bearer of bad news. I'm hoping desperately that I am wrong and part of me thinks by saying it in public, I will leave fate no choice. The whole thing hurts and there are very few places here that don't make it worse. Everytime I log in, I see a post or a thread that I know exactly how Mensa would have responded. I see other posts that could be manipulated to lure him out.
He thought that by ignoring worry, it would never happen (who have thought such a smart man could be so dumb?). Edited because the person who sent me this PM didn't realize i was going to actually quote the whole thing verbatim - and she didn't want this particular sentence in a public post. The one aspect of me, the need to do, he never grasped. He never understood what a huge hole he would leave.
That's as much as the one who was closest to him knows and is all any of us may ever know. The net fucking goddam SUCKS for stuff like this, doesn't it? People we care about can just vanish...and leave us wondering forever where they are and how they are and if they're okay...and if they knew we cared for them, that they were important in our lives, in some way.
Good bye, Mensa.
I cared about you, too.
