Has your life ever been changed by an apparently random occurrence?

Question

And how could your life have gone if this hadn't happened?

Answer 1

YES.
I'll try to shorten it.
I needed to use my girlfriend's typewriter because I didn't have one. I worked on my paper at her house one Sunday afternoon. I was in the vestibule opening the door to walk outside. My girlfriend's cousin was holding the handle on the other side of the door. I knew him since I was 5. I was 17, at this time. A couple of days later, he called and asked me to a dance at his University. I went. I fell in love. I didn't hear from him or see him for 6 months. He saw me where I was working while I was going to College.
It was my 18th birthday. He came to my house and ate my mother's food. Got engaged 1 1/2 years later and married him at age 19. After almost 37 1/2 years of a miserable marriage, I divorced him last year.
I should have bought a typewriter!

How could it have gone? I could have actually been happy. But, I wouldn't have the fantastic kids and in-laws and grandchildren that make it all a lot easier to bear.

Answer 2

OK so i used to live on a cotton farm with the father of my children
he was irrigating one day and scraped his leg, it was nothing.
2 days later he couldn't walk we called an ambulance and was later diagnosed with septic arthritis caused by a Staph infection from the irrigation water. He now suffers from changes from arthritis this all could have been avoided by a little bit of antiseptic but who was to know. Had this not happened I would still be living on the farm earning a good living rather than living in the city living on a small income from insurance company. My biggest regret is that my children will not get to experience all the fun I had as a child on a farm

Answer 3
