Chances are 1 in 1.52 BILLION or 0.000000657%

“Chances are 1 in 1.52 BILLION or 0.000000657%” – These were odds that my ex-wife, my son’s mom and I would move to the same town in the United States in 1989. And, that is exactly what happened. “Many years later driving in the car, I asked Josh, ‘What are you listening to?’ I thought he replied, ‘Broken Road, it’s my favorite country song,’ a popular song by Rascal Flatts. So I listened to it, and with tears pouring down my face, I realized that was our song; it was our family’s song; for Jackie, Ashley and me. Some of the words, ‘…But I got lost a time or two – wiped my brow and kept pushing through – I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you.’ And, ‘…Every long lost dream led me to where you are – others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars – pointing me on my way into your loving arms – this much I know is true – that God blessed the broken road that lead me straight to you.’ In 2008, there we were, Jackie, Ashley, Abbie, Issie, Joshie and me – our family”.
