It’s A Disguise, Like A Blessing.
Yesterday morning I woke up when I received 3 text messages. It all came from my old friend, who was my best friend when she was still living near me. I was a bit shocked with her news. She informed me that she wrote me a letter last year but wasn’t able to mail it. I understand that she’s got a busy schedule, since she’s studying medicine. Anyway, she said that she wanted to admit something to me.
She got back with her old boyfriend of 7 years last July, who, at some point, treated her badly. That wasn’t the shocking part for me. They got back together about 5 months ago and now, she’s 5 months pregnant! :mad: I can understand that maybe they’re very much in love and is happy about the news. But more bad news came my way.
The guy doesn’t want to settle down. She says she can understand the situation and that she can’t really force him to do it. I understand that, but, she continued by saying that he boarded a ship because he started working as a seaman. So, yeah, he left her. I thought that he was doing this for her and the baby. But she continued again by saying that they are in a “cool-off” situation. :grr:
She’s alone carrying the baby and the man who is also responsible for it is somewhere so far from her. She says they don’t even talk, he doesn’t call, and when she sends messages, it takes a long time before he responds. I mean, hello?, it’s 2007 for crying out loud! They both carry cellphones!
I wish I could be there for her, but she’s in the province. All I can do is send her text messages and email her. She hasn’t replied yet, though. I wondered how her family took the news, and if they’re with her right now, or at least one of her siblings.
I know that this is not all a negative thing. She mentioned that she went for an ultrasound last month and the doctor said that it could be a boy :wink: Of course, I can sense the excitement from her, and I couldn’t help but be happy about it as well. It’s not the fault of the soon-to-be born child that his dad is an a-hole for leaving them behind.
I wish that my friend gets all the strength that she needs. I know she’s got new friends there, but, she wouldn’t be expressing her emotions like that to me if she didn’t need my help and support. I hope and I will continue to pray that she will get through this with a clear mind and an unbroken spirit. She’s got to be strong for her baby.
As a friend, I will continue to be there for her, even if it’s just by asking how she’s doing and constantly communicating with her, specially now that she needs all the support she can get. Her baby will be a blessing. I know God’s got good plans for her and her baby.
Thank God It’s Friday!

The timing of the pregnancy must suck, In the middle of her medical studies!!! As for the guy hopefully he will come to his senses and realize that this kid will need a dad and that anyone can father a child but it takes a real man to be a dad. I hope he does, for the sake of your friend and they baby.

Aww… another baby on the way! Yay! Although nakakalungkot yung story nya and her boyfriend, masaya pa din dapat kasi blessing yung baby, diba? I`m sure naman magiging okay sya, at sana nga talaga kasama nya ang family nya to support her and all. Sana din marealize nung guy na responsibility nya na maging andon para sa anak nya at sa kaibigian mo. Nako, mga lalake talaga!!!

my heart goes out to your friend. i hope that friends like you and her family would be her strength to be able to go through this ordeal. i can’t imagine how hard it is to be alone in this type of situation. yup, what you can do is pray for her too that God provides with her the strength that she needs and also other needs as well. i hope everything turns out okay for her and the baby.

It must be tough to have to raise the baby alone, but I guess it’s still better than forcing him to help.
Personally, ethical reasons aside, I admire single moms for having the courage to go through it all by themselves (meaning without the husband – not without friends). I’m barely mature enough for me, let alone a person completely dependable on me.
I wish her all the best. May she bet a great mommy who’ll have a great child.

Wow, what a beautiful Layout … Sounds like your friend isn’t in the situation everyone would wish to be in. Poor one. And what a wimp her (ex-)boyfriend is, just leaving her when she’s pregnant. Pff. And she’s in the middle of her studies, right?
