A comforting experience

Hi Forum,
I was in London last week and decided to buy a copy of Into The Wild for a mate - Jono. I had told him about the story and he was very interested in reading the book, but knowing Jono, he would never get around to buying it. So I decided to buy him a copy in Nottinghill Gate (along with a few Jack London books for myself). Jono was with me at the time and just before we walked out of the store a guy with scruffy hair, un-shaven, jacket, jeans and boots walked into the store and I had to do a double take.
A eerie feeling came over me and I instantly thought about Chris. STUPID I know, but it was a very strange feeling. Jonathan also turned to look at this person and he later told me he did so without knowing why.
Please dont read too much into this. I am not trying to say that it was him in spirit or anything, but it did make me stop, look and think. I believe that everything happens for a reason and this was no coincidence. Anyway, I would hope that he would be pleased that - if anything else, he has inspired me to read Jack London books!
Cheers,
