Mine would be having an alphabetically similar last name to a guy I went through boot camp with, although we were in different platoons during it. We ended up serving in the same squad together after basic training and for the majority of our time in service. He had told me that one of his childhood friends would love me -- his friend had joined the military too, but a little bit later than we had and was placed in a different division. I ended up moving to the same city as my squadmate after we got out and eventually met his friend. Nearly everything that's happened in my post-military life so far has been a result of our collaboration and friendship. Unfortunately, we'll have to part ways for a while next year, but we'll eventually be able to bring it back full circle.
You never know who is going to have your name, I'm glad it led to what sounds like a lifelong friend. Those are amazing things to have. I met my best pal while working at the place I mentioned in the post. He was in marketing and had apparently noticed I was a musician via Myspace. -yes, this was a while ago. He said to me, "hey, I noticed you are in a band. Not to brag, but I play guitar and I'm pretty sweet." -Despite how that sounds he was actually being modest, he's one of the best guitar players I know. Good luck with your upcoming move (are you moving? Is that why you are parting ways?).
It led also to my career change from websites to semi-social work, my stay in Peru (I lived with his various relatives while there, had a love story which led to suspicions of murder due to the cultural memory of this guy, spaghetti sauce, and a business trip), and the creation of the nonprofit we're building. It's been a weird ride so far. I should be moving early next year as I transfer from my JC to a university.
