Take a left at the intersection

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

This didn’t happen to me, but I like this story.

My daughter was dating and she had set up a date with this guy at a coffee shop in Bellevue.

True to her nature, she got lost on the way to the date and never made it to the coffee shop.

This guy could’ve written it off and made a judgment as flighty or not caring enough.

He didn’t, he asked her to try for another day. He is a tremendous person.

They are the most rocksolid couple I’ve ever seen. We do tend to spoil the grandkids as well.

    What a warm and touching story. It beautifully shows how what first appears to be a small failure or mishap can quietly lead to something much more meaningful. Your daughter getting lost on the way to the date could easily have ended the connection, but the young man’s patience and understanding revealed the kind of person he truly was.

    That moment says a lot about character. Instead of judging quickly, he chose kindness and gave the situation another chance. Sometimes it is exactly those small moments of grace that build the strongest foundations for relationships.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
