I just got off the phone with Lucinda, and I am so happy. We have all been dismayed that Mason developed a big antipathy for school. He can see the need of an education in this competitive world but could just not bring himself to do it. Randy has been so puzzled as he devoted himself to school and was grateful for the opportunity. Mason loved school when he was kid in Montessori, It suited him fine and he has proven himself to be very smart, but couldn't move ahead in the direction he needed to go. He had a difficult romance and gave up all his Hockey opportunities to please her(the girlfriend) as she wanted more time and attention.(There was never enough.) She became more and more needy until he could stand it no more. Of course the breakup was hard, as all of them are. Lucina, who claims to be agnostic told me of this turn of events. She had an urge to drive out to Longmont to purchase a certain kind of sport shirt for Mason. On the way she notice this old building that looked as though it had been renovated from an old church. The sign said,"Adult Education." She stopped an picked up some material and took it home to Mason. He checked it out and is now enrolled in the classes he will need for collage. The amazing part of the story is that he LOVES it. Lucinda felt some sort of unusual force at work, in spite of herself. They have agonized over how life would work out for their precious son. Both she an Randy deserve a win in this respect and perhaps the path is now open. I told her about my accountant telling me how their best laid plans had been changed totally this summer. She is very spiritual and said after telling me the story of how everything had happened to put them in an even better place than they had planned, "I don't think there is such a thing as coincidence but just God being anonymous. Today I am feeling rather inspired.
