Heritage
Clark and Martha greeted everyone at the doors of the church. They, however were surprised at the amount of people that showed up, in fact it was the whole town. Jon's best friend Jack Jennings was there along with Pete's mom and dad. Chloe, Lois and Pete were some the last people to enter the church. Clark saw Lana and Nell walking toward him and his mother.
"Hello Nell." Martha said.
"Martha, Clark I'm so sorry." Nell said then walked in.
"Clark." Lana said and then was headed into the church.
"Lana could I talk to you for a second?" Clark asked.
"Sure Clark." Lana said.
"I'll wait for you inside." Martha said. He watched his mother enter the church. Then he took Lana's hand.
"Lana I want to say that I'm sorry. I should not have said those things to you.
"I know Clark, your were hurting. I understand, but I think we need to take a break." Lana said. Clark nodded, she was right they needed a break. "But if you need someone to talk to just call me." Lana added.
"Sure." Clark said. They were about to go inside when they saw the limo pull out. Mercy got out of the car and opened the door. Lana and Clark were shocked when Lex exited the car. Lana and Clark walked over to Lex. He smiled when he saw his former friends walking towards.
"Lex, what are you doing here?" Lana asked.
"Paying my respects. Clark I'm sorry about you father." Lex said.
"We're not exactly friends anymore Lex." Clark said.
"I know that Clark. I was hoping we could bury the arch-rivalry." Lex said.
"For today Lex." Clark said and they walked inside. Clark, Lana and Lex walked inside the church. Lex was about to sit in the back of the church but Clark motioned for him to join him and his mother. Lex could hear the whispers as he went and sat with Clark and his friends.
The Preacher began his sermon. He looked over the room and smiled when he found Martha and Clark.
"All of us have fathers, some of us have more than one father. Father's are what make a boy into a man. We learn things from our father's that we can't learn for our mothers. Our father's teach us to play baseball and football. They teach us how to drive and they pass on their knowledge and wisdom. They teach us our morals and values. Then they're the fathers, that didn't have to be. The father's that choose to be a father to a son with out a father. And that brings me to Jonathon; you see Jonathon Kent was a lot like Joseph. Both married kind and loving women, both were tradesmen, both were honorable and strong. And both were adoptive fathers. Jonathon and Joseph both became father's in a time of great dispair. King Herod was killing the new borns when Joseph became a father. And of cousre there was the meteor shower, when Jonathon and Martha found Clark.Joseph,died before Jesus began his teaching. But he never doubted what his son would do. Like Jonathonn he knew that Clark would one day leave his mark on the world. Like all our father's, Jonathon looked beyond the here and now. He kept one eye trained on the next generation. Both knew that their sons would make the world a better place. For blessed are those that bind up the broken-hearted and free the captive. So today we say goodbye not just to a friend,and husband ,but to a father." The Preacher finished his sermen and then sat down.
Later at the cemeatary. The mourans said they final goodbyes to Jonathon and then started to head back to their cars to go back to the Kent home. Lex was the last one to pay his respects.
"Mrs. Kent,I know that your husband and I never saw eye to eye,but I always thought of him as a father." Lex said then he kissed Martha on the cheek and then went back to his limo. Martha and Clark watched him leave.
Then they both looked at the grave. They both read the stone" Jonathon Kent: Father". A tear rolled doen Clark's face.
"All those powers, all those thing I can do, and I couldn't even save him." Clark said. Martha hugged Clark. Then they turned and headed back toward the truck. As they walked Clark picked up one of his mother's favortie flowers and handed it to her. Then he kissed her.
