This is rated PG-13 for the mention of death, suicide, and a little cussing. If you cannot handle these issues, I suggest turning back.

And there, I wept...
I sigh as I look upon the vast array of mourning people. I didn't realize she knew this many people. Probably here in hopes of getting something from the will. A slight breeze swept by making me wrap my coat around me stronger. The congregation just ended and we were now out in the graveyard awaiting the burial. Despite all the tears, being real or fake, I did not even shed a tear upon hearing the news. Yeah, it's probably what everyone expected. Helga Pataki, not giving a damn about anyone.
As I watch the people line up to pay their respects, I can't help wondering where my dad was. He was at the wake, but I couldn't find him now. The bastard. This was all his fault. Probably figured he owed it to her to at least show up for the wake and drive off. Still, I couldn't help feeling sorry for him. I mean, he did find the body after all. I could just picture it: Her body strewn upon the kitchen table still grasping the bottle of pills that had ended it all. And her eyes...staring lifelessly upwards. And a smile, so slight it may not be noticed, gracing her lips. She was free now and she was happy.
I watch as they lower the casket into the ground. Saying his final words, the priest and the crowd disperse, giving me sad smiles as they pass. After they all have left, I walk up to the grave and pay my final respects...
' I guess I will begin on telling you how much I admire you. You were so strong, you may not have believed it yourself, but it's true.' My eyes become misty, but I quickly wipe it away. ' I know I've probably seemed cold to you and it was hard to get near me. Hell. Sometimes it's hard for me to be alone with myself. But, when I needed you, you were always there.' Damn tears again. 'I know I've been a pain in the ass to get along with and I wouldn't be surprised if this was all my fault. But, I wanted to tell you how much I valued your advice, your support, your strength.' I can feel a hot tear trickle down my face, but I don't bother to wipe it away.' I guess what I'm trying to say is that I do love you and I'm terribly sorry I haven't told you sooner. So, all I can say now is goodbye, Mom and I hope, wherever you are, you're happy.
And there, I wept...
Notes: I know, it was pretty stupid and reeeeeally short! But, I couldn't get this story out of my head. This is my first HA! fic (or any fic for that matter) and I would be really grateful for any comments or constructive criticism you may have would be appreciated.
