The morning after I upset The Filmmaker so much, his mother almost died.
I found this out initially through a classmate of mine (who had read it on Facebook... which, of course, I couldn't have done, what with The Filmmaker unfriending me and all). And then I got a text from the Filmmaker saying she was in the hospital and to pray for her. And so I prayed.
I got another e-mail from The Filmmaker today. And though part of me thinks I really need to stop posting his e-mails on here (for privacy), I think it's important to share this one.
Dear Angela,
I realized something recently. If the Halloween costume incident hadn't upset me so much then I wouldn't have gone to sleep at my Mom's house. If I hadn't gone to my Mom's house, then I wouldn't have been there to help her when her heart stopped the next morning.
I think that the first class mail misunderstanding was a miracle. Weird. Everything DOES happen for a reason.
It looks like it was for the best, but I'm sorry I got so upset. I know I got more upset than was warranted by the situation. It's just hard.
Thanks for possibly inadvertently saving my mother's life.

P.S. According to our research, my Mom had a 2-25% chance of surviving her attack. It was a miracle all right.
A miracle indeed. Truly.
Yes, everything certainly does happen for a reason.
God is everywhere. Even in the silly arguments that you wish didn't exist.
May you believe in miracles.

I'm glad something positive came of it.
Oh wow.
God really DOES work in mysterious ways.
of course it's just as likely that having to deal with a son who flipped out over something as trivial as wearing the same costume as somebody across the country actually helped CAUSE the heart attack.
i never like this kind of reasoning, always seems like a big FU to the people who aren't so lucky (like in this case to have somebody at home when they have a heart attack). any event has consequences and you can ascribe positive and negative feelings to them.
It still doesn't mitigate his douchiness...but yeah, there really are no coincidences in life.
I'm goosebumpy from reading this.
What. The.
Okay.
Um. Awesome?
agree with anywaythepointis and Roisin here :( Still dont like what he did to you but it sure is surprising..
Wow. That's absolutely crazy.
I'm glad that something positive came of that night. :/
