Someone Come Into Your Life For One Reason & Turned Out To Be Something Else?

Hi sweetie, now that was so very nice of him. Sounds like a nice guy. I have had such nasty experiences with people who turned out something bad, but you hold on to that one. He will make your day everytime you see him. Enjoy. TATA.

That's a tough one. I think we all have people that come with surprises. Lots of my kids' friends after all these years still call me mom....and I have friends that turned out to be more like sisters. Specifically though I can't think of anything very significant or pinpoint one.

WEll HUbby came in sort of a friend and ended up being my soul mate!

That is so sweet!

hi opal26 so I can say happy mothers day since this friend calls you his other mother. that was so sweet. the red roses.wow. yes when I first c am here to Gold crest I was scared and unhappy, and met Jess who was fifty to my 83, he is about my sons age. Well he sort of adopts us newcomers and hands us free bottles of soda and does little nice things for all of us. but come my last birthday when George the president of us residents told everyone it was my birthday and they all clapped.well Jess left and came back with a l ong box. inside it was a charming cherub doll with white wings and a wand, a gorgeous little thing and I have her sitting on my bureau along side my monitor. this Cherub is really pretty in a white snow suit and white wings and a wand, I was so surprised and had a hard time finding the words to thank him. a really special young man.Another time for no special reason he gave me a brown teddy bear. this is one good young man , very good a nd special to all of us.

I thought a neighbor was stocking my daughter at one point back in the mid 80's. My daughter was telling me things that weren't necessarily true. I decided to take things into my own hands. I went over to talk to him and was surprised by the outcome. We moved in together and were together for about a dozen years.

That is so sweet of him and you needed cheering up to Well the wonderful Man in my Life used to be and still is my best Friend After 2 years of being there for me as a Friend it turned to more out of the Blue not planned or anything, he has been and still is the best that has ever happened to me For 5 years we lived 3 hours apart then 3 years ago I moved closer to him, we now live 20 minutes apart Big Hugs to you Sweetie

Hi Opal26 this is a nice moving story. I hope that you have still celebrated mother;'s day. I am sure that this guy really appreciates what you do with him. The bunch of roses really tells it all. A couple of years ago, my family was involved in a car crash with an elderly tourist british couple. We have remained in contact ever since. They make sure to visit us when they are on the island and they have kept contact throughout all these years. They have become part of our family and we do consider them as our extended family.

How nice! (I hope he did the same for his real mom.) To answer your question, I can't think of any examples from my own life at the moment.

Lololol, I am not telling, but congratulations. You know that red roses means love whereas white roses mean just friendship, etc., right? I wonder if he does? Glad for you that you have such a nice friend.

Yes, this has happened to me! I love the story. A few years back, I was working as a waitress and used to go out and see people when my shift ended. Well, my car was in impound, and I was losing hours and it seemed my money was low. I had gone out with a fellow co-worker and told her I could go but had to be home at a certain hour. We get to a place with lots of people and she ditched me. I was about to walk home and this random guy came to the rescue. I don't normally hang out with people I don't know. I thought he was going to "expect something", but I really needed to get home. How sweet was he to take me home, open my door, and walk me to my front door, no questions asked. Turned out this guy who had a horrible reputation with the women, happened to turn out to be one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world! I love him for that. We are still friends and talk frequently and that's a great thing. I am thankful for my friend.

..Hi Opal, Happy Mom's Day to you with all your adopted little ones here and there. When I was in real estate, I listed a couple's home who were getting divorced. I had purchased a car from the husband, so he used me as an agent. They divorced, and the husband decided to adopt me. I asked his father why he wanted to hang around me, I am an older person, and his father said he had lost his mother and he thought that I was a nice person. That was some 15 years ago. He is basically a surrogate son, buys things for me, tries to fix my car, calls me for advice. I don't have any children and he has been a good friend and a helpful almost son. "o) Life gives you surprises sometimes. Take good care.

Hey there! Life really is full of surprises we really don't know what's in store for us until the moment it arrives, and that is the beauty of it, and makes us more alive and vibrant in dealing with it. People who comes into our life will always have a purpose to serve, we may not know it yet first thing, but as we go along the relationship, it will then show you what is the reason they come into our lives; it may be to teach us a lesson, or to get us through some difficult situation, or to give us joy and inspiration. Whatever it may be, we have to be thankful that they came into our lives.

Happy mom's day Opal! 3 years ago i was having problems with an abusive ex-bf who harassed me at work when i did not agree to go somewhere with him for a talk..my colleagues reported him to the police and they had him arrested ( he knocked me in the head pretty badly during the tussle)..i didn't want to go to the police station to settle the matter but since i was the one concerned i was forced to go..an acquaintance officer conducted the investigation but my ex-bf was so loud and loudmouthed even the investigating officer that the head police officer came to the scene to intervene..he advised the ex-bf to conduct himself manly..i never filed a case against the ex coz his family is close to mine and it would jeopardize his career too (he's in the military)..anyway, the head police officer advise me to lay low for a while and that if the ex will still threaten me ( the ex threaten that he will shot whoever will be my next bf)that i would say to the ex that the head police officer is my new bf..i laughed of course..it was absurd..but he was just trying to help me..he knew that i was terrified at that time..he is a little older than me and he advised me on things..now, we've been together for almost 2 years.. i never expected that to happen..the investigating and friendly office becoming the love of my life..

Yes I would say so. I'm going to point this towards old friends. We had our fun but after I met my husband I realized that my friends were really "so called friends" and that I had done a lot, including changing myself for them. I don't blame them anymore, but rather am happy that they did come into my life, it made me realize who I was, even if it did take a few years, and now I have my husband that in a way I wouldn't have without my "so called" friends. I know this isn't exactly what you meant but this is the "turned out to be something else" in my life. Friends that instead of being true friends, or the type of friends I needed, ended up just being the stepping stones that made me realize who I am and what's important to me, made me have an inner battle in a way and helped me to be the person I am today with the man I love... That's all that matters after all isn't it?

How nice of that guy! He must have really appreciated the motherly treatment you've given him. So you've got a thoughtful "son" in him. I think, not all sons gave their mothers flowers yesterday. Many of them did not even care to greet their Moms perhaps. In my case, I have so many nieces and nephews who treat me as their Mom too. Well, I like and appreciate that because I have only one son. Although my son is more than enough to me, having some more in their persons adds more happiness into my life.

wow. thats wonderful. im so glad for you. you deserve it and besides you are a mom to fur babies, right? i know they'd give you gifts if they could. Im sorry to say that most men that have turned out to be something else turned into being my spouse or boyfriend. are you sure he looks at you as a mom? i dont know. maybe im just all wrong about stuff today. my daughter forgot the time difference and woke me up at 8am this morning. to say happy moms day. then proceeded to make me feel bad about her pics not being on FB. so see. you are lucky your furbabies cant do that...lol.

Hi opal26, Happy Mother's Day to you too and that is so sweet of him to do that, it just shows how much you mean to him as you are always there for him, he knows it and that is why you derserve those roses, you are special to him, nope nothing like ever happened to me, LOL! Tamara

Happy late Mother's day to you, Opal. I haven't had anyone enter my life like that, but it does seem wonderful. Life can be full of surprises sometimes and it works in mysterious ways. Have a wonderful week and as always, happy mylotting.

Hi Opal. That is indeed very sweet. Those are the kind of stories I like hearing about. Where people show the kindness, or make extra steps just to make other people feel good. The closest thing I could relate to is a friend of ours we initially met on a bus. She was a nanny then. She was very friendly and would just start talking to anybody, that's how we got to know each other. Initially, I just hired her to watch over the kids during days where I had to go out of town. She has since then moved on from being a nanny. I met her husband, and now we are good friends. We even have plans to go on business together.
