Coincidences

So I was driving with my dad the other day and I was laughing about the fact that, as the title of this blog implies, it was rather inevitable that Gav and I would have met eventually. Ovr the last year we've had the humorous opportunity to discover that if you looked up the term 6 degrees of seperation you would find a picture of the two of us. Be it friends of friends, parents of friends, Halloween parties, or randomly connected relatives it is impossible that the two of us wouldn't have been thrown together sooner or later (thankfully sooner).

As we were laughing about that my dad turned to me and asked, "You know what your grandfather would say right?" I didn't and so he proceeded to enlighten me. My grandfather was a great man, the kind of man who worked hard and fully believed that luck was real and there are no such things as coincidences. He would have said that for two people to just randomly be connected to the point of ridiculousness wasn't random. He would have said those two people chose each other before this life and so every effort was made to make sure they had the opportunity to find each other. I don't know how much believe that we chose each other, but if we did how awesome would that be! It would definitely explain why so many things that are supposed to be "awkward" or whatever come so naturally to us.
