Strange happenings

Eight years ago I was in a terrible divorce. My husband dumped me for a woman that he had known for only a week. He had met her in Daytona during Bike Week. They were married the day after our divorce was finalized. I meanwhile met a wonderful man and started a new life with him and his boys and we're happy to this day. A funny thing happened to everyone that was associated with him and his wife. Less than a year after they were married, he, his wife and a friend of hers was hit by a drunk driver. His wife suffered brain damage and amnesia. She basically didn't know who he was. The friend was okay but she suffered a lot of guilt for changing seats with his wife. His wife eventually left him for the man that she remembered, Dennis. She sued him for divorce and her family sued him for the insurance money, saying that he and the friend were in a conspiracy to keep the insurance money. The insurance money was spent on her recovery and nursing home costs, but they didn't believe him. She had another friend who kept everyone up-to-date on her recovery through her website. In a small world senerio, I accidentally started corresponding with her through a needlework newsgroup before I discovered that she was best friends with my ex's wife. Well a number of years have passed and the strangest thing has happened to all these people. My ex suffers from Epstein Barr syndrome, his wife (now ex wife) is still in a nursing home in the UK. The passenger in the car has passed away from some strange illness, the best friend has also passed away and I just found out that Dennis has incurable cancer and will not survive. These are all people in their late to middle 40s. I find that very strange...strange indeed.
