Back in 1994 I was going thru a bad breakup with somone she & Joe knew wasn't right for me & 6 weeks into the breakup when he started trying to come back around. Margaret had enough so with out me knowing she got a family member to give airline miles to me & she booked a ticket for me to go to California where my mother, sister & friends were. They showed up at my house with the ticket in hand & care of my daughter planned between them & my brother & sister & even my nana. She handed me the ticket & I said No you use it & visit your family but she started packing my suitcase & said i was going!! It was the best vacation without my child I had ever had & on my flight home a freak snowstorm hit the entire east coast including FL so I ended up in Atlanta GA where I was never suppose to be! after the night in the hotel provided by the airline at the 11am checkout I took the shutttle to the airport & my flight wasn't leaving until 5:30pm. I walked around the airport & didn't have much money left but a man caught my eye so I went into the bar he was sitting at & another man sent me a drink & then he sent me a drink & moved over to talk with me . We spent 5 hours in that airport walking around & talking & he bought me lunch & it was an immediate connection. We ended up exchanging numbers & 10 days later he flew to Maine ( he was in the army Special forces & he wasn't suppose to be at that airport either) We were married in Septembe 1995 & my life & my 11 year old daughters was totaly changed for the better & all because of Margaret's determination & intuation. We have been married 20 years & have a beautiful daughter together who goes off to med school to become a Doctor in August!! I have the dream life that I really thought was only a dream until Margaret made it a reality! My older daughter also ended up with a life we never would have thought could happen ! She is a half mainer & half georgia girl because that is where the army stationed us!! I have 2 wonderful grandsons & really more than I had ever dared dream of. I believe that this story epitomizes who Margaret was in her heart & soul. My husband Ray & I & our daughter Lynn & Vanesa know this story & know that it's not always fate or destiny but maybe one soul who sees what can be & makes it happen.
