Higher Ground belongs to Fox Family. Kyle Hunter belongs to Universal Pictures. I don't know how they do Hispanic funerals, so I'm going to be focusing more on how each of the Ciceros family is feeling than the funeral itself.
A few days later, Juanita, Eduardo, and Cynthia put on their best clothes. In the bedroom she shared with her husband, Juanita fiddled with a simple black broach. Eduardo came out and gently helped settle the jewelry.
"Oh, Eduardo. I don't know if I can do this," Juanita confesed.
"Oh, carina. I know," Eduardo sympathized. He gave her a quick hug. Then, they walked out of their room and down the stairs, their daughter at their heels. At the church, the three sat down. As the pastor spoke, Juanita found her mind wandering. Oh, Abe. My dear, sweet Abe. How did you come to this? she wondered dismally. Scenes of him growing up danced before her eyes. Abe's fifth birthday, his first bike ride, the first time he had gotten into a fight with Auggie...the woman smiled ruefully. Meanwhile, Eduardo was lost in his own memories. The first time he had gotten in trouble, the day they had found out he had joined a gang...Oh, my boy. I told you this was a bad road. I warned you, he thought sadly, shaking his head. Just like her parents, Cynthia's mind was wrapped around Abe. Oh, Abe. How could you be so stupid? You have completely broken Mami and Papi's hearts. And what about Auggie? How come you didn't think of him? she wondered. She sniffled. Then, she laid her head down and cried.
