"This cannot be, Wiley is my brother". I went on to work, later called Dad to tell him this story.
I was driving to work, needing gas so I stopped at Buster and Crickets Store.
Nice lady came out, said "I notice your tag is from Fannin County, I was raised there". (100 miles away)
Who do you know there? I tell her, my Father is Pratt and Grandfather is Wiley. (her brother in 14 kid family)
This happened almost 30 years ago. I was so shy, I never went back to get to know my Great Aunt Cricket. I would if, I could do it over again.
As I type this story, it is still hard to believe it. Coincidence or what?

Sometimes coincidences are crazy like that...and we do wonder if they are coincidences or not...
I had the same thought as Lynda, is it really a coincidence?
life can be strange. be prepared for anything. rose
It is a small world, what a great story.
I USED to be SHY also.....kind of wish at times I was still shy. Sometimes I get myself into trouble opening my mouth.
Oh well.... Stuff could be worse..Right??
Coincidences (good fate) are from God I think! :-) Cool story & I understand about being shy. I was terribly shy when I was younger.
Have a Wonderful week!
Blessings & Big Hug,

Very small world. That is awesome you met her!
Wow! I don't believe in coincidences...just God. I'm shy too, or at least I was. God's been working on that.
