In the 1970's I has a mate, Peter who I met at college, and I was the best man at his wedding. His work took him overseas and we kept in touch with letters. He and his wife returned to Australia in the 80s. They moved to Victoria and we moved out of Toowoomba and we lost touch. This was in the days before mobile phones and google. My son lives in Brisbane and divorced some time ago and now has a lovely girlfriend. Last night my son rang and said did I know a Peter .....
who is the long term partner of his girlfriend's aunt. Peter had recognized my son's surname.
Turns out it is my old friend Peter, who separated from his wife years ago and now lives at the Gold Coast. Last saw him 27 years ago. We are now in touch and are arranging a get together.
Beat that for coincidence.
