A few days later mum told me that we had to go to jess's birthday party (Amberly's younger sister) I told her no I was not ready to go to your house and see so much of you all the photos and art. dad told me there would be lots of flowers and candles. I had no choice I had to go all I wanted was for you to be there.
I told myself I had to be brave for Jane (Amberly's mum). I had to show up, to be there for your family even though I wanted to be selfish and hide. when we arrived, I remember thinking "dad was right there are a lot of flowers" I told myself I wouldn't cry and I didn't, I wanted to, but I didn't. I gave everyone a shaky hug I could see how hurt and sad Daniel was (Amberly's stepdad). Even an infant could see how missed you were, how sad everyone was.
I remember thinking:
Why was everyone trying to pretend everything was normal?
Why did I have to pretend you're not gone?
Why are you gone Amberly?
What could've I done to save you?
Is it my fault?
