The Funeral
The day of the funeral had arrived. Tess was standing near the window looking out on all the people arriving to say goodbye. Tears began falling as she slowly broke down. Nick walked in silently and slipped his arms around her. She turned and cried into him.
"I miss her so much. Why did God have to take her away? I only just found her."
"It was her time Tess. And there was nothing we could do to stop it. We have to respect God's decision. It's not something we can control so there's no point in getting angry eith him. This is hard on all of us Tess. We just have to learn to deal with it. I know it's hard now but it'll get better with time. Trust me."
"It's so unfair. She was so young. It's not fair on her, or me, or Alex and BOM. Poor BOM. She's going to grow up without knowing her mother."
"She is not. Claire was a big part of all of our lives. She would have wanted you to teach Charlotte about her. Let her know how much she is loved even though her Mother isn't here. We have to make Claire a part of her life. Even if it is just with memories."
"Thanks Nick."
"No problems. Now are you ready to get out there and say goodbye?" Nick asked.
"I guess I'll never be ready. But I can try." She held his hand as they walked through the house and out to the field where Claire was being buried.
"Claire was a big part of our lives. And she will always be a part of us. She will live on in our hearts and our minds and more importantly she will live on forever in BOM. We love you always Claire. Goodbye big sis." Tess finished off her speech.
As she stepped down she placed a rose on Claire's coffin. Then each person in turn did the same. The coffin was slowly lowered into the ground as everyone Claire loved looked on.
Well that's the end. I know it's short but hey I like it. Reviews please!!! J!
