"Now we all are gathered here to say farewell to Bryson Johnson and to commit him into the hands of God!" The Pastor said looking at everyone
"In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The Pastor said fanning himself
As the Pastor was talking, my eyes went towards the closed casket where the love of my life is in lifeless like who would of known that I would be putting the man that I fall in love with back in high school to rest today.
"Lord our God, you are the source of life. In you we live and move and have our being keep us in life and death in your love, and, by you grace, lead us to your kingdom, Through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord" The Pastor said
"Amen" Everyone said loudly
Words couldn't explain how I feel right now like I want this whole thing to be a dream cuz I want my baby back in my arms right now.
"Let Us Pray!" The Pastor said
"God, we thank you for the life that you give us. It is full of work and of responsibility, of sorrow and joy. Today we thank you for Bryson Johnson, for what he has given and received. Help us in our mourning and teach us to live for the living in the time that is still left to us. Thank you for eternal life that can give light and joy to our days and years already here on earth. God, we thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to see that it is he who opens the gate to the life that shall never die." He said nodding his head
"Amen" Everyone said loudly
"Now there is someone would like to say a few words about Mr.Johnson so please give your attention to his wife, Mrs.Johnson" The Pastor said looking at me
That's when I slowly gotten up from the bench while India grabbed my hand as we walked towards the stand but I placed a kiss on the casket then began walking towards the stand now I couldn't stand here in front of everyone acting like I'm strong during this hard time when I'm hurt and in pain right now.
The tears started falling onto the paper as I shook my head while India stood there wiping her eyes and rubbing my back.
"Um who would of known that we all would be here to celebrate the life of my amazing husband and father to our five beautiful kids, Bryson Johnson" I said sighing
"This is one of the most hardest things that I have ever had to do. For the past week, all I have been thinking are there any words good enough to speak of my husband, Bryson. Now he would have been truly honored and humble by all of the love of his family and friends in this church today that are here to celebrate his life. The number of people who are here to pay their last respects is only a testimony to the lives that he personally touched while living on this earth. It was nothing more important to Bryson than his family. Family always came first in his head because those are the only people that you got in this world. Bryson has done things for his family that most people won't do even though he had to suffer the consequences. He would of did anything for his kids like Chanel, India, August and Silas thought of him as their hero. That man was their role model and their rock! I met Bryson nearly 23 years ago at a house party that we both went to with our friends and soon to become friends in high school. Bryson was a truly amazing person in his own little ways and that's what made me want to get to know him more. Once he introduced himself to me; we danced, we laughed and we fell in love. He has helped me through so many difficult challenges that has happened in my life as we were in high school and after high school. God brought an angel into my life that I needed in my life and everyday I am thankful for it. Life with Bryson was filled with pride and joy for the amazing 23 years that I had with him. I want my kids to know that I loved their father deeply even with bad or good memories. I want them to know him as the amazing father and husband that he was but also his passion for his career and to protect his family. Bryson, you honestly gave me a life of adventure and love that I will always remember! You always knew how to make me laugh even if I was mad at you. Those late nights when the kids were sleep, we would slow dance to our favorite song in the kitchen will be my favorite memory. You have challenged me, encourage me, held me accountable and pushed me to be a better human being in life. Everyday watching you hold our kids when they were babies was everything! Bryson, you were an amazing father to our four beautiful children. I promise to tell them everyday that their daddy loved them to the moon and back. You are my best friend and my baby now I am honored that I came across you in life and was able to be your wife which I would do it again in a heartbeat, my love. Now we all know that Bryson won't want us to cry about him passing away but to celebrate the amazing life he had on earth. He would want all of us to always value our families and support each other no matter what. Bryson, we will always miss you now we have so many wonderful memories to remember! You are my best friend, heart, soul and world now I love you so much baby! Til we meet again, Bryson Johnson" I said crying
"The World Is Yours, BabyBoy!" I said looking at the casket
