My second husband, and love of my life, said he really believed his beloved grandmother picked me out for him and led us thru over a thousand mile journey to meet a second time in life. Maybe your mom kept a spiritual eye out for the woman who would make the best partner for you, and sent the two of you onto a path.

Who knows what is possible? I rule very little out when contemplating happy happenings.
