Coincidence, err, is it so?

Last night my uncle passed away. Mourning tym. He is been hospitalized for a while. So we actually kinda prepared to accept whatever comes our way. May he rest in peace. But yday, sadly, it was his wedding anniversary. ‘Same day around the same tym 30 years ago’, my aunt says, ‘he left the house as a groom with flower garland and the Baith (blessing poems in arabic) singing by the guests while today he leaves home with the wreath of flowers and with Shahadha, the Arabic blessings chanted for the dead’.  A mere coincidence should i call it or simply a fateful event? i wonder.
