My husband was a law enforcement officer in another town in a very distant part of our state. Since then, he has moved, married, worked several other jobs, then was overtaken by a mental illness.

It was pretty funny, though, we now live 300 miles away from where he began his law enforcement career. I work with severely mentally ill people in our town. DH, in attempting to recover from his mental illness, joined a support group. In that support group was a man that I worked with on a regular basis (he was a client of mine). Since they were the only two men in the group, they were "partners" for a few exercises. They started talking, and it turns out that DH had arrested the other man 18 years ago, in the town that was 300 miles away. They both remembered it, because the man who got arrested was very violent and out of control. He remembered my husband, and my husband remembered him. Small world, for sure!
