When I walked through the doors of our grocery store the other day, a feeling came over me that I was going to run into someone special. I made my way straight to the salad bar and as I was sprinkling my salad with dressing, I looked up and saw my son's ex-girlfriend standing right at the end of the counter pouring soup into a carry out container.

Just last week, my son and I had been talking about her and I said that I was surprised that since they broke that I have never run into her.

So it was very ironic to run into her after her name came up so recently and it was such a chilling(in a good way) feeling to have that premonition of running into someone when I walked into the store, even though I didn't know exactly who it would be.

When I looked up and saw her standing there, I said hello to her and she immediately came over to me and hugged me hello. It was really nice to see her, and we had a chance to catch up.

It's not that I wanted them to get back together, not at all, it was just great having her around so much at the time and my being the only female in the house, I really enjoyed her company. It was a little loss when they parted.

It has been about three years now and they have touched base with one another a few times over the years, so they had a friendly split. They both have matured and moved on and that is a good thing.

It was a very nice surprise in the middle of the work day to run into her and reminince about some of the fun family times we shared. I was also glad that she seemed to be happy to run into me as well.

It was a little joy for the day!
