Finding Justin

It’s not at all unusual for people to meet in the most unlikely places, and through unlikely series’ of events….but what is often most fascinating, is that it seems sometimes these meetings are preceded by some form of premonition that they will happen. Although this next coincidence isn’t a premonition as such, it certainly feels that way….. It was a few years back, and I realised that since the advent of computers, it’s pretty easy to find a lot of people these days, and one old friend of mine, I was particularly sad to have lost touch with for over twenty years. I searched the internet, and very quickly found him on LinkedIn. Happy about the discovery, I noted his business name, and phone number, and resolved to call him the next day. The next morning, Justin’s details were sitting on my desk in front of me, and I opened my emails. One of them was an enquiry – from Justin’s company! I did a double-take, and wondered if somehow he’d been notified that I looked him up. I opened the email, and it was Justin’s business partner looking to book entertainment for the children at her forthcoming wedding. I immediately called her, and confirmed that Justin was indeed my old friend, and her business partner….and of course, Justin would be attending the wedding. She had no idea that I knew him, and had simply Googled local entertainers in her hometown of Brighton, Justin lives in London. I told her not to say a word, so on her big day, Justin got quite a surprise to meet me after all those years, in full costume, entertaining his kids……. What’s remarkable about this story, is that I was apparently destined to meet Justin again, whether or not I attempted to contact him……..
