I wish I had some examples as good as yours, but here goes anyway:
I have four siblings and I come from a struggling family. December came by when I was 10 and my parents were on the verge of telling us that we would not be able to have Christmas that year. They never had to tell us that because two weeks before Christmas they won $1,000 on lottery.
Another odd coincidence that year is that I finally completed my collection of the 1996 X-Men cards by getting that ONE card I was missing in a pack on Christmas day.
it depends on what happens next. do you consider just meeting and being friends with her again as the end point to
it? or is it fate/destiny that she instigated this thread in retrospect, that without her, this thread would not exist. maybe she is your catalyst to
enlightenment? maybe you'll never know what she brought back to your life that changed you. maybe she'll have no effect on you, and she's just a
cool person to hang with.
