I walked with the old man into a dark and creepy place it gave me chills
Me. Where are we going exactly
Old man . We are going to visit your father
Me. My father
Him . Yes your father

Oh boy here we go again l bet he's one of those crazy old folks but hey what have l got to lose

Me.my father died
Old M . We say he went into a deep sleep here dying is too extreme
Me. Deep sleep huh?????........what is the difference
Old M . When someone dies they go to judgement but when they are in a deep sleep they are watching over us right this moment.
Me. Oh okay

( This old men say a lot of dum and confusing stuff but lm just going to let it slide

Old M . Here we are
Me. It's too dark here l can't see a thing
Old M. I think there is a lamp somewhere here

He said tripping over and breaking stuff until
Old M. Here it is
Me. Great ( sighed in relief)
Old M. Now let me light the lamp
Me. Sure thing
Old M . But be ready of what you are going to see
Me. Yeah lm ready

He lit the light and l began to see the room clearly, my heart melted it was my dad lying on a bed of flowers in a big box like made of cement bricks . And his picture was pasted over him written *here lay a true hero*
Me. It's  .....( Tears of emotion flowed down my pale cheeks)
Old m. My brother has never looked Soo peaceful
Me. Brother !

Old Man . Call me uncle Davis your fathers big brother
Me. Big brother

Uncle Davis. You won't remember because l met u when you where still too young . Just a little cub l tell you (Chuckling)
Me. Well it's nice to meet you uncle Davis

I said smiling inbetween  tears and trying to contain my tears

Uncle Davis. Don't you want a hug
Me. Yes please ( l said sounding like a 2year old asking for candy)

I swooped in for a hug . And l couldn't help but smile everything was coming back together my family, friends and even me . I had this burning energy in me waiting to be sent free . I felt confident in myself and l had never felt that way in a Loong while
...............20mins later.........

My uncle and l spent the last 20 minutes laughing and talking about the past memories of my father . He seemed like a very good guy and l believed him . We were exiting the room when l saw Francis talking to this black chubby girl at the bar table
I couldn't stop staring at them
Uncle Davis. Well right there is your cousin and the boy she loves
Me. Boy she loves
Uncle Davis. Ohh yeah what's his name...... Frank ..Nah

He locked his hands together and l climbed out the entrance door and helped him up
Francis. Oh yeah you seemed like you had a huge problem with me talking to Grace
He started covering the door with leaves

We arrived at the car and Francis opened the door

Francis. Wooow Heyy don't get all angry at me
Me. I'm going to sleep now wake me up when we are there
Francis. Sure
Suddenly the car stopped
Me. Now what
Francis. No gas ( putting his head on the stirring wheel )
Me. Huuuuhhh would it kill you to be a little bit prepared
Francis. Well that's not helping at all ( rolling eyes)
Me. Well now what

Me. Sleep were the car
Francis. Well if u don't want to l know a nearby place we can go sleep at
Me. Wow another place now oh God
Francis . Well shall we Mrs attitude
Me. Fine l don't like the sound of this plan
Francis. Well l didn't expect you too
Me. What's that supposed to mean.
Francis. Well lately you have been really rude
Me. Maybe it's because l have a lot of things on my plate and being Mrs sweetness can wait
Francis . Whatever let's just go

He said fetching the picnic blanket

We walked into the woods and the place looked creepy very creepy and scary till
Francis. Here we are
Me. Woow it's beautiful
Francis. Well that's new to hear

I just ignored him

It was a clear place with no trees at all and there was a lake a beautiful clear Lake that reflected the twinkling stars

Francis. I come here to think and clear my head . You look like you could use that Soo just lay back and just empty your thoughts

I layed back on the picnic blanket and looked at the twinkling lights and l felt a huge burden on me being lightened up

Francis. Take in this beautiful scenery
He Sayed as he lay down the blanket  looking at the stars
Me. This is the most beautiful place l have ever seen
Francis. Yah me too

We both smiled as we looked at the twinkling stars . I really didn't want this night to end
