The Providence of Coincidence

[Negeen]

Hi friends! I just wanted to share a little story with you all

Last week, I walked into cvs which is a pharmacy/convenience stop and as I was checking out the cashier asked me if I had a cvs card. I looked at the cashier and told him I didn't and as I opened my wallet he said "Oh you do have a cvs card, it's right there!" I apologized to him and proceeded to explain that I have a brain injury and forget things sometimes-to which he responded- "Hey, so does my sister! She got into a car accident and has a tbi!" He gave me her phone number, I called her, and we're meeting together for coffee on Friday. The providence of coincidence...

How fantastic, some people would just have looked, been embarrassed and ignored it. Hope its the start of a lovely friendship, where you can both help and support each other.

Very best wishes, Molly

hey fantastic. one of my favorite things is sitting having a coffee!

[Negeen in reply to RogerCMerriman]

I loveeee Coffee! But being middle eastern, I grew up on Chai tea so I'll always be a tea girl If I ever visit the uk we can grab a chai or coffee together!

[RogerCMerriman in reply to Negeen]

More than welcome! Great to hear it went well, sound like it went better than that infact.

Aww this is great. It will be lovely for you to meet someone in the same situation and maybe a long friendship will come out of this strange happening. All the very best. Jo xx

[Negeen in reply to Hidden]

It was Jo! We had so much in common just on our daily struggles, it was very sweet to talk to her Thanks for the best wishes!

[Negeen in reply to B_S_A]

lol. You don't know how hilarious I thought your comment was.

[Mikesghost]

What a great story, I hope the coffee date goes well for you both

[Negeen in reply to Mikesghost]

It went fantastic thanks Mike!

[Mikesghost in reply to Negeen]

That's great

[Nks425]

I think that's great ! It's hard for someone to really know what it feels like or explain to someone what feels like in your head. I think it's great! Enjoy the coffee and hope it turns out to be a nice friendship for both of you Niyani

[Negeen in reply to Nks425]

Niyani, EXACTLY RIGHT. We shared stories and struggles and it was like finally someone understood what it was like to be in head! Definitely the start of a great friendship.

Lovely story Negeen. Hope your meeting goes well tomorrow and you've made a new friend.................please let us know how it goes. xx

[Negeen in reply to cat3]

Thanks Cat! We went to coffee and she was so sweet! I've never had someone relate to me so much. She was saying everything I try so desperately to explain to everyone else. It's a friendship that is definitely continuing We're going to meet together every week!

[Negeen in reply to barny1]

lol what Barney you don't believe in providence happening in the uk? More like Only in Negeen's world...

[crudock]

Now that is a refreshing rarity.....

and would recommend a chai tea latte, when in the uk even though i would think that sbucks does it in America.
