Think about how many people you walk by every single day that you don’t know...

At first I wasn't going to post about meeting the Swedish man and you can guess why at the end, but I figured I should considering he was still someone I'd never met before.

Yet again at Borders I didn't even have to approach anyone. A middle aged man sat next to me and we didn't speak for an hour. We were each doing our own thing. After that time he stands up and starts talking to me about my mac, college, his daughter, careers, etc. He is a civil engineer and has a puppy that chews on everything. The conversation was going great until he asked if I could go have a drink with him. I politely declined and he politely left. I felt it odd for him to ask me out when he knew that I was younger than his 25 year old daughter. :x Maybe that's what they do in Sweden?

Donna was an accidental meeting. She had a friend in high school named Mae and added me on Facebook. We continued talking even though I wasn't who she was looking for. Her son is in the Army and has been in Afghanistan since last April and he will be home in 66 days. He joined last February. It has been very hard on her because he is her youngest. I can only imagine how hard that is. Thank you for your service, Justin. Come home safely.
