Some people don’t get what they are expecting, while others who don’t expect anything get something.
Retired United States Marine Esteban Perez Nunez had long wanted to see again the woman he met at a nightclub in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The 58-year-old Nunez fell madly in love with Cecilia that he kept going to Nuevo Laredo, hoping to see the love of his life.
Last Valentine’s Day, Nunez was at it again, standing at the corner of Reynosa and 15 de Septiembre streets in Nuevo Laredo, waiting for Cecilia. He was in full military uniform, with white-gloved hands holding a bouquet of flowers to give to her in case she appeared, Reuters reported.
But the still single soldier’s effort was for naught as usual. Nunez said it was his last time to go to that spot as he had done every year since 1990, when he left for his military duty overseas after dating Cecilia for two months. He went home, frustrated and only with fond memories of his lost beloved.
In contrast, Finlay Glen, 27, of Hamlet Road, South London, United Kingdom received two years ago a strange mail not addressed to him.
Curious about the identity of the sender and its message, the theater director and playwright had it checked by experts. He recently learned their findings and decided to give the letter to the Norwood Review quarterly magazine, which then shared its details with CNN.
The letter was for Katie and came from Christabel Mennel who wrote about her miserable cold, according to CNN. It was an ordinary personal correspondence.
The only remaining mystery about the envelope that has a one-pence stamp bearing the head of King George V and sent in 1916, in the middle of World War I, was why it stayed in the post office for so long and was delivered so late.
