foretold

One of the things I've been doing in preparation for moving to Melbourne is going through the stacks and stacks of paper and souvenirs in my closet. A slow-moving, but sometimes entertaining task.
Yesterday I came across a writing assignment from Mrs. Eadie's grade 6 English class. It's called "Me at 75." The second paragraph starts,

"I live in Australia, I moved here when I was 26, the year I got married."

I couldn't believe it when I read those words. I will hopefully make it back to Melbourne while I"m still 25, but I'm going to be 26 when Hugh and I get married. Let's hope nothing else I imagined comes true, like one of my children dying in "World War III", and singing the national anthem at a Blue Jay's game. What was I thinking? I don't like baseball, or singing in front of people!
