"Maybe I should just go," Maya thought to herself, "This was a bad idea, I should leave."
Maya turned around and began to walk in the opposite direction before thinking to herself, "No this isn't a bad idea, I should do this. I mean nothing bad can happen. It's just me so what's there to be nervous about?" She turned around and went back to where she was originally heading, tightly gripping the flowers she had brought. "Oh, but what if someone else shows up?" she said turning around again. This continued for another five minutes until she decided to just do what she originally came for.
"Why am I so nervous about this…?" Maya thought to herself, "It's not like anything can go wrong..." She eventually began to see what she was headed for. Her pace slowed as she got closer to it. She wanted to turn around and go back home but didn't, she had to face this one day and it might as well be today.
After what seemed like hours to her, Maya reached her destination. She stood there for a minute in silence as she forgot everything she had prepared to say. After a few minutes, she finally remembered what she wanted to say and spoke, "Hey Mia." She began to speak louder, "Happy birthday sis. How old are you now? Thirty, right?" Maya looked at the grave in front of her for a date and found it. It revealed that Maya's statement was correct. "Yeah, you're thirty," Maya said and then remembered what she had brought, "Oh yeah! I got you these for your birthday, sis." Maya placed the flowers she had bought on the grave. The bouquet had a note in it that said, "To my big sis, with love."
Maya didn't know what to do now. She just wanted to leave now, yet she couldn't bring herself to do so. Maya sat down in front of the grave, wiping off some dirt from the gravestone. Maya just couldn't stand to see the grave dirty. After that, she sat there, just examining the gravestone. She began to read it in her head, "R.I.P, Mia Fey, Born: May 10, 1989, Died: September 5, 2016." She began to read the message she had inscribed in the gravestone, A great attorney and an even greater sister, gone too soon, but never forgotten."
"Wait a minute," Maya said aloud, "It's Mother's Day, I just remembered that. I guess I'll have to visit Mom's grave, too." Suddenly a memory came back to Maya of when she was younger.
