Am I the only one who feels that destiny plays huge role in where we're at in life? Is life a predetermined course of events? At times Rick and I have talked about this exact subject. The first point
I would like to share is that we both had very similar childhoods. Both of us were raised by our father's,
along with help from our grandmothers. Our grandmothers played a crucial role in our early years, and we share stories of getting a little extra special attention. Now you might say, well that's not destiny...BUT did I mention that my great grandparents owned a house in what is now Fountain City? Only a mere 20 miles from where Rick grew up here in Tennessee. See the house below....but continue reading the story below as well!
Then there is the Garity family reunion that was held in Gatlinburg in 1981...I believe? We've taken a few trips up there since moving back but my memory fails me, of course that was just about 30 years ago. I remember a park, where one relative road a bike into the trees due to not knowing how to brake. I remember being in a pool that had a waterfall....most of all I remember having fun. I still have family here in Tennessee, and our next reunion will be held here this summer.
As you know we both served in the military having been stationed all over the US and parts of the world. We were both in Kuwait a month together, but at the time didn't know each other and never met. Just missed each other in Korea...and finally met in Hawaii.
Whether it be destiny or not, I am thankful for being his wife, and for being back in Tennessee.
