Sorry guys this is so short... its part 10a! lol Ill make it up to you I promise.

Sam's POV

Well I am glad that is over. I don't think I can do that ever again.

General Hammond was so peaceful and he spoke so lovingly about Janet at the ceremony and at the cemetery.

I was a total mess at both. I really tried to hold on to my 'military bearing' in both places. But it didn't work. For the first time in my whole career, I couldn't do it.

And you know what I don't feel ashamed about it either.

This was a special time.

And exception to the rule.

Jack went right along with me, showing my strength when need be but holding my hand when I needed him as well.

Cassie was by my side the whole time, trying to be the brave girl we all knew she was, but she held tightly to my other hand through out the entire ceremony.

I am glad that the General took all the arrangements upon himself, I knew what Janet wanted, but I don't think I could of but together what she wanted for her.

Jack was right, I would need help with this.

And I can admit that.

Even though I knew what she wanted, I don't think I could of brought myself to carry it out for today.

The plot she had picked out for herself, is amazing, she has the sun rising over her every day, a view of the mountains you could pay a lot of money for. It is so her.

God do I miss her already.

We are sitting in the General's back yard, it is a nice...I am not sure what you want to call it...get together if you may.

I am so glad we decided to bring an extra change of clothes with us to this. I don't think I could have stayed in my blues for the entire afternoon.

Cassie is off sitting alone on the swing, she insisted she needed some time to herself.

Which I can understand completely.

I am just people watching right now, I don't know it's like escaping or something.

I see Cassie walking over to sit walking over to sit with Daniel.

I hope she gets him to talk, I tried before and he just brushed me off. I know Jack tried and so did Hammond.

I am worried about him.

Jack is sitting here next to me, holding my hand.

For someone who is so worried about the regulations and what we 'can't' do, he is sitting here very close to me, hold my hand.

I am not going to even try to understand his reasoning.

Anyway I am watching Daniel and Cassie, she made him laugh a little bit, and by the look of it, he is actually talking to her.

I sigh, this is a good sign.

Well Cassie and Daniel are moving towards us, defiantly a good thing.

"Hey" I ask as they sit down with us.

"Sam, I am sorry about how I...." Daniel starts to apologize.

Doesn't he know that he doesn't have too.

"Daniel, stop, its ok."

"No Sam..."

"Yes Daniel, I understand."

"We all do Daniel." Jack pipes in.

We do, honestly we all do understand that losing Janet has affected us all.
