When I was in college, I was asked by a friend/workmate to help him move furniture one evening, and would have absolutely done so had I not had a baseball game that evening (I played college ball and the summer game was a critical one). I ended up having the greatest game of my life that night, getting a pair of singles and pair of three-run homers (each pair from opposite sides of the plate). The second homer was a game-winner the last inning - it seemed so surreal as I rounded the bases. After an excitement-driven sleepless night, I drove to work to tell my friend about my game, and was told that he was killed in a car accident the previous night - helping his brother move furniture with another friend. I was shocked, stunned, basically numb. I later felt that it was no coincidence that I had the greatest game of my life the night I most certainly would have died, and have continued to live each day as if it were to be my last - trying to be a positive influence in this crazy world.

I've had a layoff from a job save my life. That seemingly unfavorable event set in motion a series of events that led up to me being at the right place at the right time down the road. I could go into details about this rubik's cube but it would take at least a half hour so instead I'll just say it all boils down to the premise of 'there are no accidents'. I'm glad you didn't die and obviously you have given the whole situation a lot of thought

I was booked on the American Airlines flight out of Chicago in May of 1979 where one of the plane's engines fell off during take off, but decided to stay one more day, at the very last minute. It saved my life.
