After we watched the best movie of all times, we decided to do what was the hardest thing of all for me to do.

Visit my mothers grave for the first time.

I got dressed, I only went with Carrie because she was the one that my dad hurt and I just didn't want everyone there crowding me. I didn't even want Mitch to go with me. that probably sounds bad but I wanted it to be just me and Carrie. Carrie and I made our way out to the car and drove to the site. I remember this one tree that was in the farthest corner of the graveyard me and mom would sit under and have picnics when we visited grandma and grandpa. that's where I buried her.

We pulled up to the site. I cant. I just cant. I couldn't move my legs. I just couldn't accept it. I still couldn't accept she was gone. Carrie saw me sitting there and noticed in an instant I was scared to go. she slid back into the car and over to me. she put an arm around my shoulders.

" Hey. your okay, you can do this."

" I don't know if I can." I choked out through my tears.

" I will be with you every step of the way. I'm here for you."

That somehow worked like magic. I was able to nod and slowly get out of the car.

We walked through the numerous tombstones until we got to the giant old willow tree. we pushed the long vines out of the way, and there sat my mothers grave in the trees shade.

I slowly and shakily walked up to the grave and put my hand on the smooth, cool granite. I knelt down and tenderly laid down my moms favorite and my favorite flowers, cherry blossoms and lilies of the valley. they were both of our favorite.

I felt Carrie put her hand softly on my shoulder.

" You're strong." she whispered.

I wiped a stray tear off my cheek.

" I miss you mom. and I will always love you." I said.

I stood up and turned around.

" We should probably go. the others are probably waiting for us." I said.

" Yea. your probably right." she said.

We walked out from the tree and back to the car. then we drove back to the house to finish out the day.
