I have an acquaintance. She used to live near my old house. She is a photographer and would take pictures of my boys every year. I have framed each one and have them in a gallery, going up the staircase in our home.
I've been thinking of her and have been unable to track her down. She's not listed in the phone directory and doesn't have a website for her photography business. She and her husband built a farmhouse somewhere in the "country"....one of those western towns in Massachusetts where people go to raise horses. I don't even know the name of the town.
It's been two years since I've last seen her. She's been on my mind alot lately.
Yesterday, I went to a grocery store I seldom go to. There, while shopping for lettuce, I hear my name being called. I look up and it's her!
She looked at me and said "you've lost alot of weight."
I thanked her for the compliment and took a good look at her.
She looked tired.
"You look good, too," I lied.
She had breast cancer but is doing better.
We talked for about 20 minutes and then parted, agreeing to keep in touch (I got her contact information).
A chance encounter.
What are the odds?
