Somebody

I love the song by Reba McEntire: "Somebody." The idea of the song is that we never know when or where we are going to meet people. It refers to the fact that there is somebody out there for everyone, but I have been thinking about it in a different...non-romantic way lately. The chorus says:

"Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
that you walk right by every day..."

The line I've really been thinking about is "somebody in the next car..." Now the story:

Almost a year ago, I was in a car accident with my roommate. The description was that car #1 hit car #2 and launched it into car #3 (yes, the police report said "launched"). We were car #3. As we were waiting for everything to be taken care of with the report and with "car #1," we started talking to the guys that were in the middle car. After that, we went to In-N-Out together and it started a great friendship. There were times we were nearly inseparable...together all the time, sometimes doing crazy things. It was so much fun!

These three people have all proven to be blessings in my life. There are definitely days I miss the good times we had. It amazes me how randomly we meet people sometimes. Really, you can meet people anywhere...even at 1655 S State St...and it's awesome!
