Have you ever had an unexpected reunion with someone from your past?

not me but when i was a young child my mother thought she reccognized a man in a small grocery store we had stopped in. she approached him and asked if he was who she thought he was-and when he replied 'yes' she explained that she was the youngest daughter of his wife who had passed away over 30 years prior. the man's eyes filled with tears and they embraced. they had not seen each other since the funeral. our family became close with him and his wife and he became a bonus grandfather to me.

craziest thing is-not a store we stopped in before, not in the town we lived in, not in the town she/he lived in at the time of her mother's death. fate......

Yup. She didn't remember me. Went to High School with her. And College. And for four years in College whenever she was looking for a ride home to our hometown, I was the first person he called. (I had a car, she did not)

For some reason, I always run into old friends at airports so that's happened a few times.

I did run into my ex-wife's best friend at a Starbucks a few years after we divorced and I happened to be back home visiting. She was so flustered she had no idea what to say. It was a funny encounter.

Today actually at a stoplight.
Oddly I was driving my dds car which isn’t something I usually do.
Someone honked and waved at me as they passed by but I figured it was someone thinking my dd was in car and they knew her.

We get to the stoplight I look over and it’s a former co worker that quit over a year ago lol. It was nice to see him and hear he was doing well.

Nothing like that but I did recently reconnect with an old boyfriend. We went out a couple times but things still didn't work out. It's for the best I suppose.

Back about 40 years ago when a lot of our friends were getting married all around the same time
My mom saw a reply card for a wedding. It was for a friend from work
My mom asked me to ask her if she’s related to my uncle Joe.
Turns out we’re related. Only her side of the family called him uncle brother since he was her dads brother
So her dads brother which was my uncle Joe married my dads sister so we both have the same uncle and aunt through marriage
Still not sure how we’re related but that was fun

It's happened to me a few times.
One time I ran into an old BF.
After saying hello he seemed flustered.
I asked him if he was ok?
He said, "Am I dying? You're the third person from my past I've seen this past week!"
He's still kicking as far as I know, but it was funny at the time.
