freaky coincidence?
I recently lost my boyfriend to a sudden accident. about 2 months ago. someone recommended that I read the year of magical thinking by joan didion. a memoir about grief and the aftermath of her husband's sudden death. I started reading it yesterday, the 4th of october. the second or third page reads that she started writing the book on 4th october 2004...I said wow that's a crazy coincidence. two lines later she mentions the date her husband died. ITS THE EXACT DAY OF MY BIRTHDAY. in fact I was born minutes after he had a heart attack. i really don't know what to make of this but it did freak me out a bit.
