It was September 4, 1984 as I prepared for the twin long over due graduation.

"Come on you guys get ready." I yelled from the kitchen as four bodies came from there rooms.

"Mom, why do we have to get up early?" "One you guys are graduating and two everyone's coming, even your sister."

"Your mom is coming, well maybe she hasn't returned my calls in over twenty years, but that's ok." I said laughing and going on making breakfast.

"Hey ,Chris, are you ready to see another one of your children graduate." I said smiling as he went to the table and held up his fork and knife, "When do we eat." He said with a weird face making the kids laugh. "Right Now." I said putting food on the table.

"Dig, in." I said watching them eat, at the table once more before they headed off to collage.

"Well get all ready Your Grand Mother is going to be here in an hour or so." I said looking down at my wrist watch and heading up the stairs to put on my dress and get ready.

"Well here we go again, except it's two this time." Chris said smiling as he came up and put his Tux on.

"Well." Then from down stairs I heard the little ones yell "Grandma you're here." "Yes, I told you I would come."

"Mom." Chris yelled as he came down the stairs and gave her a hug.

"Well ,Mel, you look beautiful." She said kissing my cheek. "Thanks ,Mom." I said kissing her cheek.

"And where are the graduates?" "Well they are in there room." I said pointing down the hall as the two came out in there nicest cloths.

"Grandma you're here." They said in unison they came running with open arms.

"Yeah do you guys think I would miss this?" "Nope." They both said as they looked up from the hug.

We all headed in the van to the graduation as we video taped it for Gordie and Laura who were unable to attend.

We left and the kids came with us crying in the front yard of the high school saying good bye to all there friends as they set off to a new feature, in collage.

"Well what's for lunch?" Alexia asked as she held her belly and her husband made sure she was able to feed her and there unborn son.

"Well if Chris would be so kind he might run to KFC and get some chicken?" I asked looking up at him fluttering my eyelids.

"Yeah, sure honey." He said as he leaned down and kissed me passionately.

"Well you take our car ,Dad, and we will ride with ,Mom." said Alexia pointing at the van and coming with us holding her husbands hand.

I got in the car and drove off home to the lot.

I walked in the house and set the table for everyone. "Mom do you know when dad is going to be back?" "No." I yelled as I sat at the kitchen table and looked out the window.

Then I saw a young black man with a white man walk up to the door. I went and answered the door with a smile.

"Can I help you gentle man?" "Why yes Ma'ma you can." "Is there a Melissa Chambers here?" "Huh.. That's me." I said looking a little confused.

"So can I help you." "Is your husband Christopher Chambers." He said staring down at his note book.

"Um… Yeah." "Ma'ma I'm sorry to tell you, but he was picking up chicken and he was stabbed."

I shook my head in disbelief. It felt like someone had ripped my heart out and through it in my face." "No!!" I screamed in there faces. "Your liars all of you!!" "Your. Your dirty little liars!!" I screamed enraged as tears came falling to the earth with the pull of gravity helping it. I shook my finger at them, "No." I screamed as I fell in the door frame.

"You lie." After that it felt like they had stuck one thousand needles in my chest and left me to die.

I was now in the door way feeling tears streaming down my face as they stared at me.

"Can we help you in anyway?" "Yeah you basterds bring my fucking husband back!!!" I was now looking at them with rage like I could pounce and kill them!! I got up and slammed the door in there faces. "Good -bye you dick heads." I said smiling "Are you ok?

"Mel, what is it." I looked up at him with concern in his eyes. "Chris is isn't dead." I screamed as I laid there and then got up.

"Hey ,Gordie, you might want to come look at the news." I listened from up stairs I could hear everything, "Christopher Chambers a young Lawyer father of five died today of a dispute against two young men who got in an argument."

Then I heard everyone break down.

I looked up from the paper as I stood in front of a crowd for two hours at his funeral. "So I say this for two hours THAT MAN NEVER DESERVED TO DIE!!!" I screamed and went into a cry. And pointed toward the coffin as Gordie rushed the stage and took me and let me dry the tears on his shirt.

"I'm ok." I whispered to him. "On last thing I want to say to my husband, it's a poem I wrote over the twenty years that I've known him.

I looked up at the crowd all the kids sitting in the front row drying there tears,

"Friends Forever

I got your back, you've got mine,

I'll help you out any time,

To see you hurt, to see you cry,

Makes me want to weep and die,

If we agree never to fight,

It won't matter whose wrong or right,

If a broken heart needs to mend,

I'll be there till the end,

Hand in hand love is sent,

We'll be friends till the end.

"I'm done now." I said stepping off and breaking down on stage.

Over the years I tried to commit suicide, but it never went through. I was rushed to the hospital and my children were taking away.

But I've always thought I had a guardian angel watching my back like I watched his.

I was depressed for about three years. I rotted away. I lost my love my life, what else did I have to live for?

But I had a family that loved me and I loved back with all my heart, except the part that was torn away.

I could never replace Chris! I loved him with my whole heart, so does that mean he took my whole heart not a little piece?
