strange but true

I saw a news story today about a family whose mother died a long time ago, a mysterious death that was believed to be an accidental overdose. The woman’s kids were young at that time, and knew little about her death. Now they are adults and remembered their father talking about a preacher she used to go and see. One night, one of the kids was watching a local news report and they were talking about that same preacher and how he was involved in a woman’s mysterious death a long time ago. So the kids went and checked it out and realized it was the same preacher and he was with their mom when she died. The only reason that story aired on TV was because the police released the wrong files of a man with the same name that was supposed to be on the news. So the kids went to meet with this guy to find out what he knew about their mom and they end up finding out that he is the father of 2 of them. Also, they find out that they used to attend the same church when he was the preacher there! If that doesn’t show an example of being connected and six degrees of separation, then I don’t know what does.
