How will you react if you have a best friend since you know from forever but ever since you parted ways and graduated high school you only had time to occasionally keep in touch with her but one day a social worker comes into your office (when you are at the peak of your career, mind you) and told you, your best friend had met with an accident? Along with that, she had left you with a legal custody of her two daughters? What would you do?
(The Accidental Mother - Rowan Coleman) That's what happened to Sophie when Carrie died. the story has flashbacks of when both of them are younger, bringing me along what their friendship was like before and after they finish school. Ykno the naivete of 13 years old; how grlfrens are forever and all the promises. Its in there. Ykno how people change and drifted apart some time in life because of different priorities? Its in there. Sometimes there's a part of us that just wants to looks back and wish everything was the same? Its in there. And there's sometimes when we step back from all our drama and chaos and just sense that familiar presence that has bring us along where we are now? Yup, its there.
In this story, friendship is more then taking advantage of people just to have fun and joke and laugh and fool about. There's regret of taking things (or in this case Sophie, thinking that Carrie will always be around for her) for granted. It's about respecting others' wishes too and honoring our promises. And agreeing to see their point of views doesn't mean we agree with them, just means we are listening.
Always.Forever.Whatever. - Powerful words full of promises. Cheesy yet it sounds familiar. Why's that so? Allah knows.....
