A Story of Love: Be it a Comedy or a Tragedy

This story may be fiction, yet, it is so very true. Our future is governed by our history which we write in our present.
This is David’s and Amy’s story. It begins and ends on Thursday afternoon, November 20, 2008, yet it takes a lifetime to unfold.
David McGuire is that man all to many young men aspire to be. Good looking, charming, sophisticated and smart. In business matters he is a master. In matters of personal relationships, though, as with most men, and many women, he is a klutz.
The youngest of the siblings by ten years, by an accidental pregnancy, doted upon by his mother, an inconvenience to his father, never being shown the values in a close knit family.
Amy Peterson was raised alone by her father through her most formative years. Daddy became the ideal of who a husband should be. In control and the dominant fixture in her life. Impetuous, yet, loving, kind and generous. Her husband would be just like her Daddy, even to taking a much younger wife.
Amy is a contrast. A girl maintaining her conservative values yet ably coping in a modern world. It is those very values, which the world disdains, that make Amy so appealing. She steadfastly refuses to give in to pressure yet, uses her charms to achieve what she wants.
Wilf Peterson, community minded, outgoing, hard working, with a heart as big as the prairie sky he was born under. A man who married his high school sweetheart to whom he was deeply committed. Her untimely death caused him to focus all his love and devotion on Amy who was the one remnant left to him of the woman he loved so dearly.
Amy’s stepmother, Susan, who loves Amy very much, enriches the values instilled in Amy by her father.
Franci is the astute, discerning and devoted employee that every business would have and should have. Her perspicaciousness causes her to become involved and to take control. She is the glue that keeps the restaurant working together. An untiring work ethic with a need to have her hand in everything, yet an overwhelming desire to make others happy. Franci is the liaison. at 32 she understands the exuberance of youth yet, has the maturity that garners the trust of all others.
David’s life has passed by so quickly and uncontrollably, it is to him, one huge surprise. How could he have let things get out of his command. He is, after all, the Boss.
The biggest surprise of all is Amy. Thank God he has Amy. The woman who has taught him more about life and love than all his previous years of experience. Amy; his love, his rock and his comfort. When all else has been taken away, David can still count on the possession most dear to his heart. Unwavering, true devotion from Amy.
