Today was Kelsey's funeral I put my best suit on the one I wore on our first date and I dressed Payton up in black leggings and a black dress I went to the funeral home

When I got there I saw James and mr. And mrs. Johnson crying standing next to the casket. I went over there with Payton I looked at Kelsey's dead cold body I cried holding Payton in my arms she is the only thing I have left of Kelsey the funeral started and a lot of people spoke I was asked to speak so I did

Hi I'm Hayes Grier I was Kelsey's boyfriend and the father of our beautiful baby girl this is so hard on me because Payton our daughter will not grow up with her mother to be there for her I said trying not to cry. One thing I can say is that Kelsey was very strong and didn't take crap from no body she was very loved and a wonderful mother for the age that she was Payton loved her I was really hoping I could marry her someday and we could be a family I said now crying but Kelsey faith Johnson if you can hear me I want you to know that I love you baby girl with all my heart and Payton does to

I talked to my mom after the funeral to see if I should give Payton up for adoption

H: mom can I talk to you
E: sure
H: what do you think I should do with Payton
E: listen Hayes if you put her up for adoption that's your choice but just remember what Kelsey wanted you to do she would have wanted you to stay with her
H: mom I'm too young to take care of a chid
E: like I said Hayes its your choice but just think of what Kelsey would want you to do
