Its crazy how things just happen like that isn't it? I have had many a situation like that happen to me. Must be hereditary for so did my father.
For example, as a child in school I once had a bus driver who just so happened to be my father's drill sergeant from when he was in boot camp. And it just so happened that her boss was my step great grandpa's cousin! How or why does/did this happen?!
Many say things always happen for a reason, that its all planned out. I frankly have to disagree at times. Things don't happen for "reasons." They happen to teach you something (in my opinion, believe what you will).
Referring back to my dad now. When he was just nineteen, living on his own in a cruddy flat in Florida, there was an old man who he helped out. This man's wife died years before and he was left alone. My dad took care of him, drove him to a local jazz club every Sunday night (my dad hated jazz, he was quite willing to help this man out and make him happy), et cetera et cetera. Anywho, my dad eventually moved away, back to his hometown. Years later the old man died and left in his will (he hadn't a penny to his name) his wife's wedding ring which had been given to the man by his mother. My dad eventually proposed to my mother with that very ring. All because my dad helped him out. My dad strived to be a better person after that.
Now what am I saying this for? Because I feel there is probably some reason a lot of these things ar happening to you, just try and find them.
Now I'll stop myself before I stop ranting.
