A year after we were married, Diane was cleaning out her old wallet, emptying expired bus tickets, tattered business cards and receipts that had been buried in its recesses for years. As she was doing that, she found a photograph she had cut out of her brother’s all boys high school yearbook more than 7 years before. The face on the photograph was that of a handsome and athletic-looking young man she had once had a crush on. On the flip side of that photo was that of a scrawny-looking lad with rather protruding ears. Diane remembered that when, as a teen, she used to pull out the photo to show it to her girlfriends, she would sometimes accidentally display the wrong side and quickly turn it around exclaiming, “Oh, not him!”
That morning, seven years later, she realized she had married the “scrawny-looking lad” on the flip side of the photograph. Serendipity? Or could it have been Providence…?
