Life Is A Mystery

---

This husband and I…

Stopped to eat about an hour from that rock hunting cabin…a little diner…in a little town…not far from Fife…

A man approached the table…addressing that husband of mine…excuse me…he said…I saw your name on your hat…may I ask you a question…

Do you know James and John…twins…they grew up near here…I went to school with them…53 years old…the reason I ask is that you look just like them…

James and John…didn’t know them…but yes that man of mine lived near here long ago…we’d have to do a family tree search…

And so we did…some nieces and nephews had a James and John…same last name…on social media…and funny thing…they DID look a lot like that husband of mine…

But funny thing again…they aren’t related…same last name…cousins to nieces and nephews…but related on their mother’s side…

Two sisters in the same small town in Texas…marrying two unrelated men…who just happen to have the same last name…and apparently…happen to look alike…

And so it is…life can be a puzzle…sometimes confusing…sometimes amusing…and sometimes…lots of fun…putting the pieces…together…
​
And that husband of mine…agrees…
