this is really awesome.

amy had written a blog on her myspace, and this guy, who must be a friend of hers, left her this long response. i think it's one of the coolest stories ive ever heard and i think he is VERY well spoken to say what he said.




"Let me relate a small story very close to my heart.

Back in the 70's, a girl by the name of Robin grew up in Manhattan and went to a prestegious private highschool. A man named Steve grew up in New Jersey and after college moved to Vermont to work at a ski resort as a janitor and short order cook.

One day, Robin went on a school trip to the resort that Steve worked at. All the girls saw Steve cooking their meals, and said he looked like a dirty greasy hippie. Before they left, Robin and her friends pulled a prank. Robin went out at night and stuffed up all the toilets in the resort. Steve had to clean the bathroom and unclog them.

Later, Steve moved back to Edison New Jersey to work in his Father's fish market. Coincidentally, Robin moved to Edison New Jersey with her best friend. They lived on the same block as Steve's fish market. They would go every Sunday to the market to buy fish to eat. Steve and Robin both looked much different, and Robin didn't recognize him.

Eventually Robin transferred to a school in Texas, and Steve moved to Connecticut. Three years later, Robin ended up moving to West Hartford. Steve also lived in West Hartford.

Two mutual friends from the area set Steve and Robin up on a blind date. Neither of them wanted to go, but begrudgingly accepted expecting nothing to come of the evening.

After hitting it off, they were exhanging stories. Robin told Steve about the time she stuffed up the toilettes, and the only thing he could say was "THAT WAS YOU?"

Robin and Steve are my parents. They have been married for 25 years since this past May. They are still in love as strong as the day they met, and have been the best parents i have ever witnessed.

The things that draw people together cannot be pinned down... its not mental or physical, its something else. Your paths start to cross since the minute you come into existence. You never know how close you are to someone without ever finding them, until it becomes inevitable.

Its like gravity.

Your paths have already crossed. Stay in eachother's lives, you are so lucky. Everyone will still be there for you no matter where they are in the world. This planet is so much smaller than everyone realizes. If you try to trace any event in your life back to its roots, you soon discover that without everything that brought you to your current point, that one thing would not have happened. We are completely comprised of everything that has happened to us in the past.

Through this, if one small thing were to cease to exist, then everything would fall apart. Every sigle little person, insect, spec of dust, effects everything else on the planet.

Its inevitable."
