I moved to Sacramento and lost touch with him, so it had been almost 10 years since my last contact!

    Once, over a beer after work, he was talking about how he was never going to find love and how frustrated he was with the whole thing. I told him that love will find him, and if it didn't then I would give up all hope in the world. Yeah, I know it's dramatic statement to make, but he really is that wonderful of a person.

    Well, at Disneyland he introduced me to his wife and two adorable kids.

    It really gave me a sense that life/love really does work itself out. It just takes time.

    p.s. The friend I went there with also ran into two friends. What is it about Disneyland?

    next trip we just go through the bag check and are walking towards the turnstiles and I say to DH "I should try to find our Doctors brick" but when I look at all the bricks I quickly decide that that would take entirely to long but as I look down guess who's brick I am standing on? strange I know but magical none the less!

    Ran into a co-worker about 10 years ago at DL. Went to Coke Corner to get a little refreshments and there he was, with his lovely wife.
