There's Something About Wilson


My first full day on our family vacation in Big Sky I realized something beyond my own understanding was happening.  It got my family's attention when I told them about the Wilson hotel I found after an early morning church service.  These odd coincidences that keep showing up in my life seem unbelievable, yet they keep happening.

"That's Wilson Peak over there," our tour guide, Michael, said pointing to the highest summit you see in our family photo above.  I had no clue about the history of this famous guy named Wilson who, in his later years, helped start up a bank that merged with what is now Bank of America.  He is best known for the work he did as a topographer in early surveys of the surrounding area where we're visiting.

Perhaps all these coincidences are the reason my family is becoming so fond of Wilson.  They love seeing how his presence draws strangers in.  They even agreed to pose in a family picture and share it on social media.  If you've been following my stories, you understand how rare it is to see my family here.  Yes, there's something about Wilson.

I have this crazy idea in my head that Wilson will one day be reunited with Tom Hanks.  That is how his story will end.  As for me, I'm along for the ride and I'm enjoying every minute of it.  Yes, I believe in miracles.  Thank you for visiting and allowing me the opportunity to share my life with you.  I would also like to thank my family for tolerating my unconventional ways.  Remember this...I didn't choose Wilson, he chose me.  We're a match made in Heaven.  Have a great day.
