It was a rainy and cloudy day we were driving to the funeral of my dead sister Emily. The lost of Emily has been hard on all of us especially my younger brother Issac they were really close they would always help each other when they needed it. Our family was doing well we had enough money to get by and my brother had his 14th birthday a few day before the death of Emily.Maybe if I payed more attention she wouldn't have been dead, a few minutes later we pulled up to the graveyard and got out of the car and walked to her grave.My grandma,Aunt,uncle,cousins and friends were at the funeral then a priest walked by and stood by the grave and said "We are gathered here to say farewell to Emily and to commit him into the hands of God now lets pray." Our Father in heaven, we thank you that, through Jesus Christ, you have given us the gift of eternal life. Keep us firm in the faith, that nothing can separate us from your love. When we loose someone who is dear to us, help us to receive your comfort and to share it with one another. We thank you for what you have given us through Emily. We now entrust ourselves to you, just as we are, with our sense of loss and of guilt, When the time has come, let us depart in peace, and see you face to face, for you are the God of our salvation." "amen" we said all together.


We walked to her grave and it said Emily Foster June 23 2014 - march 20 2022 mother was sobbing father tried to comfort her and it helped a little. After the funeral ended we drive back home. It was the evening mom started making dinner I was in my bedroom reading until mom finished. As I read I dove into a world where there was fairies,elves,dragons and much more and the protagonist had to find a way back to their home then mom called up "Samantha! Issac! time for dinner!" I went down the stairs and sat at the table mom made pasta with garlic bread we ate the pasta with the bread and after I finished my bowl I asked for seconds and after we were satisfied with our meal we got ready to go to bed. After we got ready I tucked myself into bed and fell asleep.
