There is another theory which states that this has already happened. - Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Every day I wake up and wish it was a nightmare, the news I got when I called San Francisco, but reality sets back in and I realize it is real. There were so many things we were supposed to do. We had so many plans and now they are just thoughts about what it would have been like. We still had so much of our book to be written; it wasn’t even close to the first chapter being finished. There are so many things I wish I could have told you, so many things that I wish I could have shown you. I will forever have you in my heart and you will forever be my love. I miss you today as much as I did when I found out I would never get to see you again. RIP until we meet again in the next life! 😘❤️💋👩❤️💋👨⚱️🪦💔 less
