Synchronicity

So, today I begin my morning by picking up my Rocky Mountain News from my leaf immersed front porch and I thumb my way to my favorite News' columnist Mike Littwin. If what was detailed thereon is not synchronicity abounding then I don’t know what is. He started out by writing about Aarone Thompson. She’s the six-year-old girl that is missing from a part of Aurora. The part of Aurora she’s missing from is very close to my old high school and in fact the neighborhood of one of my ex-girlfriend and an old friend of mine…So, he’s writing about a topic that is a little close to home but that’s to be expected he’s a writer from the local news paper. Then he directs his column to Richard Berrelez. So my mind is like what a minute are we talking about the husband to Leticia Berrelez? Leticia that works in the same office building as me and I in fact worked with her daughter in my department and currently still work with her brother in my department. Synchronicity times three right there. See, Richard had cancer last year and he and Leticia had just dropped their insurance so they really got into a lot of financial trouble. So, Leticia started making breakfast burritos and bringing them in on Friday to sell and make money for his treatment. God, I love her burritos and the money goes to a good cause so you can’t wrong. Well all was well with Richard and on Fridays he would come to work with Leticia to help sell the burritos. My sister and I always talk to them while scrounging up money to buy their delicacies. I usually try to work on my Spanish as Leticia tries helping me and Richard is very supportive of my Gringo efforts. The reason Littwin mentions Richard is because Richard lost his granddaughter 12 years earlier. See, his granddaughter was abducted from an apartment which was one block away from where I lived with my Dad. I remember being a kid and my grandmother being scared of my sister and I playing at those apartments because of that little girl being kidnapped so close to where we lived. That is synchronicity times 100 right there. The tragedy came to a fulcrum when Richard’s granddaughter was found by police bloodhounds in a duffel bag in the mountains. Since then Richard has trained dogs and donates them to police departments across the country. I learned about Richard’s job because my Grandmother remembers Richard from the news story about his granddaughter. Synchronicity baby. That’s why he is helping the search effort of Aaorne right now.

To sum up this up.
I have recently fallen into the readership of the columnist Mike Littwin.
He gets involved with a story from my old stomping ground in Aurora.
Randomly he mentions a guy I know from work.
The story develops into what happened in my old neighbor when I lived there 12 years ago.
My grandmother knows the Berrlezes from the old news story…She asked me if I knew who they were meaning the whole murdered granddaughter thing and not the co-worker thing.

“It’s a small world after all.”
