One of My BEST Fate Stories

They say everything happens for a reason. Who are "they" and what is the reason.

I wanted to save this story for somewhere down the road but I just can't wait. This can be nothing other than fate.

In December of 2006, my friend asked me to pay for something she bought on Ebay (she didn't have Paypal) and she would reimburse me for the item. When I went to pay the seller, I noticed his address was Oss in the Netherlands.

When I sent the payment, I added a note and told the Dutchman that my boyfriend worked for a company whose headquarters were in Oss and gave him the name of the company. He wrote back and said, "I, too work for that company."

Out of everyone in the entire world, what are the chances of this happening.

We emailed each other often and a few months later my boyfriend went there on business and I set up a meeting with the 2 of them. He met the Dutchman and his family and came home telling me how nice and hospitable they all were. After that, I kept in constant email contact with the Dutchman and 6 months later my boyfriend and I went to Oss and I met the Dutchman and his family.

Their English was very good and they showed me around Holland while my boyfriend was in his meetings. It was the experience of a lifetime and I have made a friend for life.

It was amazing enough for this to happen and then to actually meet him. We have kept in touch now for over 2 1/2 years and I consider him one of my dearest friends!
