Have you ever heard of the invisible string theory? It's when two people come together and pull away over many years even without knowing each other, just by proximity, but always inexplicably reconnect—as if there's a literal string tied between them, ensuring neither person can fully break from the other.

Many years ago, both Francesca and Pete embarked on great adventures for their careers and unexpectedly were brought back to Buffalo, NY to help out their families.

Francesca's family has lived her whole life in Lockport, NY and for over a decade Pete has worked in that district. Who even knows how many times their paths have truly crossed. Here are a few times that they figured out.

In 2021 Francesca and her family lived behind Lockport High School's field where girls lacrosse frequently had games coached by Pete! (At this time Pete and Francesca didn't know each other) While Pete used the field the Surace's little dogs would often run out onto the field distracting his team and being a nuisance to Pete.

During that time Francesca was also working for the district as a long term sub in a few buildings that Pete traveled to for work. Again, they never actually met but their paths were always crossing behind the scenes.

In the spring of 2022 they were both assigned the same bus to chaperone on the way to their elementary school's musical at the Palace Theatre. Pete introduced himself and they chatted the whole way to and from the show. The rest is history.....

they were no doubt connected by an invisible string.
