Want a new interesting bedtime read? Twitter is here for you with one that has twists, turns and a lot of love!

Unnecessary opinions apart, Twitter is filled with beautiful threads by thoughtful people. These threads vary from personal experiences to love stories to their observation on even the most mundane things –and it always brings a smile on the readers’ face.

We stumbled upon one such engaging twitter thread by Matt (@sixthformpoet); it is a 3 part story and is very nicely intertwined. It is divided into 3 parts, all depicting important events in his life and all having something common (you’ll know soon!). The 3 parts are each a group of ten tweets.

It is a must read for the simple reason being –it’s beautiful.

Part 1 –The segment starts with how the writer’s dad dies and he and his family put flowers on his grave regularly. One day he realized there were never any flowers on the grave beside his and so he started putting some there too. Wait, it gets weirder. Turns out, on probing he came to know that the man had committed suicide after killing HIS FAMILY ON CHRISTMAS DAY! The sweetheart that our writer is, he went to the man’s wife and parents’ grave to put flowers as an apology. Little did he know he would meet his future wife there!

ONE



My dad died. Classic start to a funny story. He was buried in a small village in Sussex. I was really close to my dad so I visited his grave a lot. I still do.

Nice but I felt bad for the guy buried next to my dad. He NEVER had flowers. Died on Christmas Day aged 37, no one left him flowers and now there’s a pop-up florist in the grave next door. So I started buying him flowers. I STARTED BUYING FLOWERS FOR A DECEASED MAN I’D NEVER MET.

I wondered if there was a hidden connection between us, something secretly drawing me to him. Maybe we went to the same school, played for the same football club or whatever. So I googled his name, and ten seconds later I found him.

THAT was why no one ever left him flowers. No one except me, of course. I left him flowers. I left him flowers every couple of weeks. Every couple of weeks FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

I found out where they were buried, bought flowers and drove to the cemetery. As I was standing at their graves mumbling apologies, a woman appeared behind me. She wanted to know who I was and why I was leaving flowers for her aunt and grandparents. AWKWARD.

I explained and she said ok that’s weird but quite sweet. I said thanks, yes it is a bit weird and oh god I ASKED HER OUT FOR A DRINK. Incredibly, she said yes. Two years later she said yes again when I asked her to marry me because that is how I met my wife.

Part 2 –The couple had two children; they wanted to go to Disneyland (which costed £3000). The couple saved up and planned the trip but instead of serving it to them on a platter, they wanted the kids to know its value. Every time they did a good thing, £10 were added and £10 were deducted when they were being naughty. This went on until the kids earned the amount; but they saw a homeless guy outside and they couldn’t comprehend the concept that someone should live without a shelter and they wanted to give their Disneyland money away. Instead of that, the good father that he is, our writer paid for the homeless person live in a hostel, who made something of himself, came back for CHRISTMAS and brought gifts for the kids!

TWO



We had two children and last year they said they wanted to go to Disneyland. We saved up and booked it but rather than say sure you want to go to Disneyland let’s go to Disneyland, we decided to make them earn it. I told them they needed to raise £3,000.

Suddenly they were PERFECT children. I’d get home from work and they’d be all how was your day, can we take your coat? I’d say this is nice oh right wait I get it, sure add ten pounds and they’d say ten pounds is that all - we said hi, took your coat - SURE OK ADD SIXTY POUNDS.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

Walking home it became clear my children had never seen a homeless person before. They wanted to know why he had so much stuff. I said he was living there and they said but what about his house and where does he wash and WHAT ABOUT HIS JOB?

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

We got home and they said they had an announcement to make like they were calling a press conference. They didn’t want to spend that £2,950 on Disneyland, they wanted it to pay for that guy to have somewhere to live. FUCKING HELL KIDS WE’RE GOING IN THE MORNING.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

I went back and told him the story and said look I can’t cancel Disneyland and I don’t have another three grand lying around but we can pay for you to stay in a hostel for a bit. He cried and said no, I cried and said SERIOUSLY THEY’LL NEVER FORGIVE ME.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

He said ok thank you and I drove him to a hostel and booked him in. We stayed in touch and he came round for Christmas Day. Bless him he brought a cuddly Mickey and Minnie Mouse with him. Lovely - MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Part 3 –Matt describes the couple next door to them, Lucy and Tim. Tim died suddenly and Matt paid his condolences, gave her his number in case she needs it. She called after 18 months, during CHRISTMAS dinner, and told him she’d tried to kill herself and doesn’t know if she’s gonna survive. Our hero went rushing to save her while calling an ambulance on the way. When he reached and found out when she’d said pills, she meant 4 ibuprofen with 2 gins, he could not believe he came running for that! Eventually Lucy joined them for Christmas dinner, where she met John (the homeless guy) and now they’re engaged and set to marry!

THREE



I lived next door to a couple called Lucy and Tim. They were both lovely but very different to one another. He was a gregarious GET IN HERE AND DRINK CHAMPAGNE WITH ME type, she was far more reserved.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

Not for the first 18 months anyway. Last Christmas we had a million people round for dinner and it was early evening and everyone was a bit drunk. The phone rang - Lucy. She said Matt I’ve tried to kill myself. FUCK.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

It was freezing and starting to rain but anyway. I climbed over the fence, slipped, got covered in mud, grazed my legs BUT ANYWAY. I went to the kitchen door and let myself in. She was sitting in an armchair with a vacant expression and said Matt am I going to die?

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

She said I’m not going to die, am I? I said YOU PROBABLY WON’T EVEN HAVE A HANGOVER YOU CLOWN. There was a knock at the door - the paramedic. He asks how many pills she’s had. She looks at me, arches a brow and says twelve pills. A LIE.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

The paramedic caught on and Lucy confessed. It was agreed she would probably survive four ibuprofen and a couple of gins and the paramedic said she could come with me. I took her to my house and introduced her to everyone.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

Everyone including John, our homeless friend from Part Two, remember? They got along famously and to cut a long story short THEY JUST GOT ENGAGED. Next year they’ll get married in the exact same village in which this story began. AWWWWWWWW.

— sixthformpoet (@sixthformpoet) June 9, 2019

Wasn’t that one of the most engaging stories you’ve read? It is so baffling that all the important events in his life somehow revolved around Christmas!

This tale also made me realize that how something ordinary that we do or anything seemingly mundane that happens to us can turn into turning points of our lives. And that is why it is important to always cherish every moment that you live!
