A Meeting

I heard this story at church this morning. It isn't so much funny as unbelievable and heart warming.

My friend Rob was out last night visiting friends. On his way home, he stopped in at a bar for a (non alcoholic) drink. He's single so he let his eyes wander around the room and he spotted a fellow who looked to be exactly his type.

Later, they ran into each other right outside the bar and started to chat. They exchanged first names. The fellow asked Rob what he does for a living. Real estate broker. Strange pause. He asked for Rob's last name. Then he asked if there could be more than one Rob Taylor selling real estate in Ottawa. To the best of Rob's knowledge, he's the only one.

The fellow fished in his pocket and came up with a folded piece of paper. He unfolded it, showed it to Rob and asked if that was his phone number. It was.

He had come from a party where he met Lily (the house inspector who did the inspection on our house before we bought it). Lily liked what she saw and thought that he would appeal to Rob so she gave him Rob's number. Lily sure has Rob pegged!

How incredible that just a short time later, their paths should cross! Who knows if anything will come of this but Rob is a fellow who deserves to have somebody fabulous in his life.
