Narrative #5

In the spring of 1941, my wife and I got married. We’ve had known each other since we were young children. My family and her family were next door neighbors. I can picture that now, the day that her family moved in to the house next to mine. She was wearing her pink overalls and her bright blue sneakers. She was the cutest girl that I have ever seen.
Her family was new to the neighborhood so one day I decided to make friends with her. She was a quiet, young girl. We hung out everyday after school. To make things even better, we went to the same school. We did everything together. From that day on, I knew that she was the love of my life.
It has been ten years now and we are off to college. It was a sad day for the both of us. She was accepted to a college in the west coast, a college that she would always tell about that she would love to go to and I was accepted to a college in the east. We were going to be apart for four years. Since the day that her family moved into the neighborhood, we have never been a day apart and now we were going to have to be four years apart?!
One day we were talking and we decided that we would plant a tree in a place that her and I would go to everyday. It was a special place for us. It was a place where we shared our first kiss. We planted the tree to show that this tree would live forever just like the love that we had for each other would.
Then one day I got a phone call and got some devastating news. She had been in a car accident. She had been hit by a drunk driver and it was a hit-and-run. She had suffered some head trauma and there was a chance that she would not make it.
I immediately flew over to the west. After a few months she recovered. It was a long three months. Everyday I would think about her hoping that she would make it. When she finally recovered, I brought her back to the place that we first shared our first kiss.

Narrative #4

It is in the spring of 2000. It is Maria’s wedding day. Today is such a beautiful day for a wedding. This is a picture Jessica and I outside of the church where Maria’s wedding was held. It is an exciting day for our best friend Maria who is getting married to a guy named John. She is marrying the guy that she has been dating since 1995. They have been dating for about five years and now they have decided to get married. We are so happy for her. This picture was taken after the wedding. After the wedding we had a few minutes to take pictures before heading off back to her house for a ceremony. Her dress was so beautiful. Maria is the most beautiful girl that we know. We were so happy that she had invited us to her wedding. We would expect that she would invite us, considering we are her best friends. Jessica and I were bridesmaids in the wedding. It was so exciting for us to be a part of something so important to our best friend that is also important to us. My dress was blue with a red bow and Jessica’s dress was a red dress. I think that the red bow was a part of Jessica’s dress but I decided to steal it from her to make it a part of my dress. She was fine with this choice. J We were acting so goofy on this day. This day was a beautiful day. We could smell the fresh cut grass, hear the birds chirping and we decided to take a picture next to a tree that had “Hoa Dao” on it. It was white and we just thought that since we are both beautiful women, we could make the flower that was already beautiful even more gorgeous.
