We met because somewhere, in the place where babies are waiting to be matched up with a family, it was known that I would need parents that would foster my love of music, reading, and all things Broadway. That I would need parents who would burst out into song with me, hug me tight, dry my tears, teach me how to be kind and involved with my community, remind me to have my oil changed, and hold me steady as I walked toward my future husband.
We met because my last name started with a B and her last name started with a C and biology was required in high school. But really we met because it was somehow it was known that life was going to start throwing curve balls hard and fast, so each of us would need someone to lean on, and that everyone needs someone that can make them laugh so hard they cry, and that eventually the person with the last name C would save my mother’s life. And it was known that sisters can be born in the same hospital exactly two months apart, from different mothers.
We met because when I was 18 I moved to Maine
There are so many different paths my life could have taken. There are a million reasons why we all shouldn’t have met, small decisions that could have changed it all. Lucky for me, there are a million and one reasons why we did.
That was a very beautiful post!!
thank you! 🙂

Yay! Love it.
How about, I posted on a random message board 17 ish years ago and started chatting with other teens all over the place. One random message board and hundreds of thousands of written words later…
Still floors me how lucky we are!

I love this post!!! Hubs and I always say we had a chance meeting cause had it been a second later we wouldn't have met and who knows where we would have been today. Love, love, love this post!
Isn’t it wild? Makes you wonder about our universe!

I often think about all the little tiny decisions that brought certain people into my life or me into theirs. There was a corny '80s song by George Michael called "A Different Corner" which had the line, "Turn a different corner and we never would have met."
What a beautiful post about those corners in your own life.
It’s pretty amazing when you think about it. So many decisions we make every day that really change the course of everything. I like the quote 😉
