Have you ever met someone by pure chance? Someone that came into your life so unexpectedly you thought it must be fate. Well, it happened to me just a week ago. I was supposed to be up early on December 20th to drive to my family’s cabin. We have spent every Christmas there since I was a kid none of us ever missing one. Naturally my mother was on me for weeks about making sure I left on time since she knows I’d be late for my own funeral. The forecast called for heavy snow starting around mid day on the 20th and I really needed to leave on time to avoid it. When my friends invited me out the night before I didn’t see any harm in going to have a few drinks. I’d hang out for a few hours then be back home with plenty of time to sleep. It didn’t exactly happen like that though. Unfortuna
