Your Life Through My Eyes
Best Friends
Story Overview
This short story targets the lives of two best friends, who are also neighbors. Both ladies (Wanda and K) have sons who are also the best of friends. These two young ladies both have live-in boyfriends who are not their kids' fathers. K's man (Velt) cheated on her in the past, and it's something that's hard for her to forget, although Wanda wants her friend to be more forgiving of him in their almost perfect relationship because she knows that Velt is a real father to his family, and he loves her son deeply.
Wanda and Her Relationship
Wanda's man (Jake) used to be a homebody, she met him when he was on vacation; he fell in love with her and decided to stay in town. Wanda took advantage of the fact that he didn't know too many people in town, so she continued to hang out, leaving him home to babysit her son many nights. K wants Wanda to stop being so careless with her male friends, and to pay more attention to her present relationship before her man leaves her for good.
Friendship and Family Decisions
These two friends spend a lot of time together shopping, talking on the phone, or just hanging out with the kids. K becomes pregnant and is unsure if she should have a baby from a man who cheated on her before. After a long conversation with her boyfriend and a lot of forgiveness, K decides to keep the baby. She shares her news with another good friend of hers, who agrees with Wanda about the love Velt has for her and her son.
Tragedy and Support
The almost sudden death of a male friend leaves K upset and confused, but Wanda is right there by her side to comfort her through it all. She even flies out of town with K to attend the funeral and meet his family for the first time.
Turning Points and Friendship
Soon after they returned to town, the tables are quickly turned, and now it's Wanda who needs love and support from her best friend. K supports and encourages Wanda to live; she convinces her to fight for her life, her son, her strength, and most of all their friendship, because she doesn't want to lose her best friend. Together they learn to live each day as it comes, no matter what it brings; and trust me, it brings unbelievable surprises.
