I use to work at a boutique in North Jersey. On lunch break I would share my lunch with a homeless man that always spent time on a bench near the boutique. He was very polite and was down on his luck. This went on for about a year then I had to move away. I moved to another town in South Jersey near Wildwood. I was on lunch break one day and ran to wawa to grab a sub and a few other items. When I went to pay I realized I left my wallet in my other purse. I was so embarrassed so I apologized the the girl at the counter and left. Less than a minute later I heard some one call out “young lady, ” I looked back and the man behind me had paid for my lunch and was bringing it out to me. When we were face to face we both recognized each other. It was the homeless man. We both were wide eyed and so thrilled. I gave him a hug and this was years later. He had gotten a job and was doing really well. He told me he’s always been generous with people because of what I did for him. I will never forget him and our story. Life is full of surprises. His name is Robert. I hope he’s doing alright.

Many years ago, I was dropping a movie off at Blockbuster video when i locked my keys in the car. While unsuccessfully attempting to use a coathanger to open the door, I said loudly, "Where's a professional car thief when you need one?" A car had just parked next to me, and the driver said, "right here." Turns out, he was a repoman! We were married a year and a half later. He unlocked my car and stole my heart. ❤

Once driving home in the pouring rain after a terrible day at work, with a migraine and horrible menstrual cramps, I experienced a miracle. I was less than a mile from home and I caught a red light. When it turned green, I pressed the gas but my car stalled. I cursed, not wanting to get out into the torrential downpour and deal with whatever the problem might be. I put the car in park and turned the key. As the engine immediately fired up, a car came blazing through the intersection going around 80 mph. I would have been directly in its path if my car hadn't stalled. Shaking I thanked God and proceeded home, my car never stalled again.

One year, I went to Girl Scout camp about 2 hours away from home. That night, I had a nightmare that my daddy had passed while I was away and I didn’t get to hug him bye. I awoke right after, so upset that I gave myself a fever and my leader had to call my parents to come and get me in the middle of the night. My mother was so angry, but Dad just held me and said it was ok because he’d missed me too. That was early Sunday morning. The next day, Mom went to work while Dad was still sleeping. I went to check on him when he wasn’t up by 10am. He wouldn’t wake up. I called Mom and she called an ambulance. They took him to the hospital and he passed about 4 weeks later. Never came back home. But if I’d not gone home that Sunday, I’d have never been able to hug him again because he was in ICU the whole time after I’d found him unconscious.

In 1971 I was on a US destroyer in the Mediterranean doing surveillance on the Soviet fleet. One day, a Russian Cruiser got kinda aggressive in their shiphandling, we were standing on the main deck in the chow line, somebody said oh shit! I looked behind me, there was this Cruiser headed right towards us, they cam within a meter or less. On the Cruiser, there was a line of Russian sailors doing the same as us, waiting for chow! I could see that we all were (in a manner of speaking) in the same boat! 😊
Years later, I'm an engineer on merchant ships, had a junior engineer that was from Ukraine originally. We're talking and he tells me that the first time he saw an American was when he was on a Russian Cruiser and they just about rammed an American destroyer! I asked when was that? 1971! Yup! He was one of those Russian sailors I saw...

I was looking for names for a story and used a phone book by closing my eyes and pointing to get random names.
I pointed to the name Cyrus Parastar and thought to myself 'There is no way that name could be natural ' Within the week i went to my credit union and was talking to a lady that worked there and i brought up that name and how unique it was.
She started laughing, 'Thats my husband '!

In 1994, I was arrested in NYC for buying heroin. I was placed next to another guy in the van, and we struck up an acquaintance with him. When we were released the next day, he gave me ride back to NJ. 5 years later, in San Francisco, I quite literally ran into him while going around the corner of the block. He had also moved there, about 2 blocks from me.

I started reading all these comments and completely blocked out the sound to the video unintentionally. Just crazy how interesting some of these comments can be.

When my daughter was born I was in the waiting room at the hospital with another man whose wife was also having a baby. The babies, both girls, were born at pretty much the same time. I didn’t know the man, had never seen him before. Six months later we’re having our daughter baptised in a Catholic Church that was the local church to the area where we had recently moved. The priest said there would be another baptism at the same time. When we got there, you’ve guessed it, I recognised the father as the very same man who had been in the waiting room with me.

I worked in London in a 1-year internship program at Citi. The end of my term overlapped with this guy from South Carolina who was just starting his internship. A year later I was in NY and bought a postcard to send back to my old team at Citi. When I turned around from the blue mailbox the guy from South Carolina was standing behind me. He was mailing a postcard back to the team at Citi.

My daughter moved to Virginia Beach after she got married. One of her best friends at college lived there and was raised there. We were visiting there and while we were driving on the bypass I asked my daughter if she had seen her lately. She hadn’t so I asked her to see if we could get a dinner set up. Less than a minute later I heard a beep from the car beside our car. It was her friend from college. As icing on the cake when my daughter told her what her new address was it turned out that her friend had lived at the condo next door when she was in high school. It’s a small world.

In the late 60's a friend and I attended music camp together. When we arrive we went into the "day room" and saw a high school friend playing a 12-string guitar and singing with several girls. Except it was not our friend but his long lost twin brother. Yes, we got them together.

One Sunday after the church service, we had put both babies in the double stroller and getting ready to walk home, someone asked us if we would like a lift home. We thanked them but refused as it was more hassle to get the children out of the stroller, collapse it, put the children in the car etc etc than it would be to make the short walk home. On the way out of the hall someone else stopped us and offered a lift. On the way out of the front doors yet another person stopped us to offer. My husband and I commented to each other it was weird ... no one ever offered us a lift home (probably because it was such a short walk).
So we set off down the road, and just ahead of us a car lost control and mounted the pavement. If those three people hadn't stopped us to offer a lift, we'd have been right there on the pavement, and we'd have all been killed.

I was a teacher in England and went on holiday to Chicago. One evening I went to the top floor of the Sears Tower and there was one of my 10 year old pupils with his parents.

In 1983 at 8yrs old i put a message in a bottle into the sea near my home in England, 28 years later while on holiday in Brazil while walking on the beach, I found my bottle with my message in it still unopened.

One of the stories talks about not seeing someone for a long time and then having them show up in dreams and then running into them soon after. I had a similar experience. I have a friend that I went to high school with, and we lived in the same neighborhood. I was in my 50's when I had a dream that had my friend in it. When I woke up, I felt I had to attempt to find him. I remember he said at one time that he worked at a marina where we grew up. I drove there and actually found him there. You might say, "well, he works there." Talking with him, he asked how I knew he would be there, because he hadn't worked there for 10 years and was only there because someone needed work on a boat. So, he normally didn't go to the marina. Just happened to be there.

I read this in a local newspaper. A recent high school grad lost her engraved class ring while swimming in Lake Michigan. Months later she was eating in a roadside diner when a patron walked in and gave the waitress a class ring he just found in the parking lot. It was, of course, her class ring. The theory was that the gravel, including her ring, in the parking lot had been drudged from her swimming spot on the Lake and spread on the diner parking lot-- and found when she was inside eating.

In 2014, I was assigned in my new job to a town in the Phillipines approximately 1, 000 miles from home. I had to drive by a town which I visited 20 years back because my ex-girlfriend lived there. I haven't seen her in ... well...
20 years. Driving the company issued car, memories kept rushing back, my ex-gf and me, dating, spending our youth like forever, snacking under a tree in a park. When the traffic lights went green, I had to drive in slow motion. It felt like my tires were so lazy rolling and there seemed a magnet pulling me back as I leave the town. So I u-turned and decided to relax at a McDonald's. In line for my order, on the other cashier line was my ex-gf who I haven't seen for 2 decades. Our eyes met and locked for 15 seconds. We froze. After we said each other's hello, we sat facing each other. But she had to leave fast as her husband is waiting outside. I didn't know what to feel. Maybe nostalgia, joy, loneliness, rolled into one emotion. Whew...

When I was looking for colleges I wasn't able to find what I wanted, this was before the internet was in common use. My dad was asking me about it on Friday. The next day a friend of my dad's called him and they started talking. They hadn't spoken in 35 years. While we're catching up and the guy mentioned his daughter was working on a PhD in my desired field. My dad said that I had wanted to be in the same field. The friend told my dad what school his daughter went to. I looked up the school a few days later and it fit what I wanted. I now have my degree from there. I stayed in the area and built a life here. I truly believe that the universe guides you in the direction that is best for you if you tune in and listen to your instincts.
