Last Saturday evening we attended a college graduation open house for a guy named Ricky. Ricky is Kayla's brother. Kayla is our son Brent's girlfriend. This whole scenario is a huge, multi-facted case in point, for something I have written about numerous times over the last couple of years.
A couple of times as young teens, our "boys" had made the comment, 'it doesn't really matter, it's not like I'm ever going to see them again or anything'. I had warned them that while it might currently seem that way, you just never know whom your going to run into, or where. Over the last couple of years, I have shared numerous examples of case in point encounters. Ricky's open house was such a multi-facted case in point, that's it's almost surreal.
Let's see, where to start ...
I know, o/~ "Let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start ... "o/~ chuckle, chuckle. (Hey, I know some of you are now singing that song, at least in your minds. your welcome o;-p)
- Our Byron and Benson had attended high school with Ricky and his and Kayla's sister Hanna.
- (Hanna had also attended college with our niece Bethany)
- Brian and our son Brandon, had worked for awhile with both Ricky and their mom at one of the caterers.
- Byron had worked with Kayla and their mom at the movie theater.
That is the connection of how Brent met Kayla. One time when he was home visiting, Byron had invited Kayla over to hang.
But last Saturday evening, I got to meet everybody, and Brian got to meet the dad. All of those previous connections definitely helped take the edge off of such a situation!
So be careful - you just never know whom your going to run into, or where!
