Destiny Or Fate? Amazing Coincidence Indicates They Were Meant To Meet

Sue and I met for the first time in 1980. She is six years older than me. We grew up in different towns with no friends or relatives in common.

Sue is an artist. She’s enjoyed drawing since she was a young girl. When she was a teenager she enjoyed drawing little cartoons about school life. She had some favourite characters she would draw and make up little stories about them.

Sue’s mother had kept a scrapbook of some of those drawings Sue had made over the years. Shortly after we met, Sue was at her mother’s house and was going through that scrapbook. She came across one of those drawings [at top of post] that said, “Schools prettiest girl, Jeanie Donahue 8th grade.” She was taken aback and told her mother, “That’s strange, I just met a woman named Jean Donahue.”

Now, when she drew that picture my name was not Donahue. It did not become Donahue until 1963 when I got married. That picture would have been drawn sometime in the 1950s. I would have been about 5 or 6 years old at the time.

Over the 30+ years that I’ve know her, Sue has often shown instances of foresight that is sometimes very eerie, even to herself. To this day, Sue insists that she knew nobody by the name of Donahue as on her drawing, she made the name up.”
