Meeting Kathryn

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

The first time I met Kathryn stood out in my life. We were strangers who met at  Susannas’ mothers funeral. We were drawn there by out mutual love for Susanna, who at the time of her mother’s passing was battling cancer.

I don’t remember what started our conversation, but I think Susanna may have introduced us, and we both expressed how beautiful Susanna looked on that day. Kathryn was easy to talk with and paid me an enormous compliment,  that being that by working in mental health as my recent past career, that I had fulfilled my life purpose by God and now could just enjoy whatever life brought my way.  It was a comment that stayed with me, and I could tell that Susanna was glad that Kathryn and I had met.  When Susanna herself went into palliative care, I managed to contact Kathryn, and we supported one another throughout our own difficult time of Susannas passing.  As I don’t believe in coincidences, I know that it was a God thing that Kathryn and I met as we both dearly loved our angel lady Susanna.  So yes, there was a time that a serendipitous encounter with a stranger led to something positive.
