This is my story of the Twilight Zone <add theme song here>

My husband's father was in the military and so his family traveled all over the world. However at one point his father was stationed in NY for a brief stay at an Air Force base there. Well this isn't anything so great...but what makes it Really bizarre is this....

One time while my mother's parents were visiting us, my husband and my grandfather got to talking about things, and my grandfather who was a contractor by trade had been a painter during the war while he was in the Navy. What makes this story so strange is that while my husband was being born (The Very Year and Month), my grandfather was also stationed on this base with my grandmother and My mother, painting numbers on airplanes and ships etc. I remember very clearly that day but both my husband and my grandfather were having one of those "chills up and down the spine" moments. I would not come along for a few more years yet, and my husband and his family would move off to Japan for 2 yrs. and then head to Calif. It would not be until years later that he and I met, and several years after we were married that this story came out.
We all thought that was one of those moments of Fate. What are the odds that my mother would be on the same base as my husband and his family during the same months of the same year and both families coming from opposite ends of the United States? Too weird.
