Obituary

In early April 1997 my Father died in UK. In France six weeks later my son, who was going to the International School in Bordeaux and taking his 'A' levels that summer got off the train with a paper. We live normally in HK but I had gone back for three months to our house in France so that he could come home every weekend. This Friday when I went to meet him at the train station in Perigueux he arrived with the Daily Telegraph which was in those days from the day before. I was delighted as in the late 90's English newspapers in our small French village were not available. What was even more amazing was that on page 29 he showed me the obituary of my Father who was ex RAF and had fought in the Battle of Britain. My son in the previous weeks had never bought home a paper and he didn't bother to do so again but for some reason he bought it that day and there was this obituary which my brother in law had sent to the Daily Telegraph just after my Father's death in early April. It was now about six to eight weeks later and there was no knowing exactly on which date my Fathers obit would be in the paper. Have never been able to explain this coincidence!!!
