About 25 years ago; I was working at a PO facility of over 800 people. I was going through a tough time in my marriage and it was pretty much over. Why I wanted the Post Office job was to have medical for me and my daughter. My, now husband, had a mutual friend at the facility and we met there for the first time in our lives. We didn't know at the time we were 2nd cousins that never met though our parents were at each other's weddings. When we realized we were related after talking to a relative and finding out we had relatives with his last name who lived "on the other side of the river", we were kind of wierded out. He had a picture of my mom and his dad sitting on the stoop of my mom's house. Along side her was her mother, my grandmother; my grandmother's sister and her son (my husband's dad). This stoop they sat on is a pub now and that was where we had our first date. Our grandmother's were sisters though we never knew until later. Truly an unbelievable coincidence since out of all those people we met each other and happy as clams now.
