I was in line for over three hours as people filed by to pay their respects. There were a few people that I did not know. One of those was Kyna of The Crystal Coast Gardener Blog. She and her husband were there. I noticed her from a distance and recognized her from the blog. When she got to me I looked at her and said I know you! You are Kyna. I read your blog and I found it from reading Going Gently! I’m Galestorm! I found her blog from your blog from around the world and she lives in the same area as I do! Small World!!<br /><br />My mother attended her stepdaughter's wedding and I remember she had asked me to go with her that day, but I was busy. If I had gone to the wedding, I would have met her and her husband that day!

We only saw one car all day .... which was being driven by a guy from the bottom of our street (Bill). When we got back from Ireland, I bumped into him and we were able to confirm that, yes, it was Bill.<br /><br />But on the posts above, when people have seemed to know that their loved ones have departed before they have been told, I can confirm that this happened to me. My dear Dad died on holiday in Cyprus. I was at work, a colleague received a beautiful bouquet of flowers as it was her wedding anniversary, I just felt very uncomfortable. And for the first time ever, I left the office early on that Friday (we had flexi time) as I was just.. not happy. I had not been home for half an hour when my mother rang to say that Dad had died. But I knew, even before the phone rang. Sorry, it's been 16 years, but it still hurts.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147299200960914730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-36251203711923054162013-03-08T21:22:27.788+00:002013-03-08T21:22:27.788+00:00As for coincidences, it amazes me how small the wo...As for coincidences, it amazes me how small the world can be! I saw a skirt walk past (on a person of course) once that I recognised the fabric as having been in my stash a good 15 years back. The wearer and I got talking and turns out it was indeed made from the same piece of fabric - I gave it to this lass's mother back in 99. <br />In the early 80's Mum gave a bunch of my clothes to various op shops around where she worked. In 84 when I was costuming the Scottish play, the designer emptied a bag of clothes she had bought from op shops to remodel, fished a particular one out and said "Tada! This is so perfect!." My response,"Well, I made it the first time, I can remake it a second!" She was totally floored. Not really that coincidental but quite funny!<br />Yes, most of my stories are about fabric and clothes, hence the Penn and Teller moment about the Disney/Royal Wedding thing, I am a sewing geek! ;-)MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-29858011590205810712013-03-08T21:13:18.745+00:002013-03-08T21:13:18.745+00:00And I thought I.

So no coincidence at all, just malice.<br />MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-4123218306810918312013-03-08T21:12:38.924+00:002013-03-08T21:12:38.924+00:00Stranger things have been proven to happen.
