Ashton ran out to his mum and asked what was happening. She choked out "your daddy died honey." Ashton didn't cry, he didn't talk, he didn't do anything he just stood there. But something I will never ever forget is the look on his face. He hugged his mum and just walked back to bed. I didn't go into his room because I didn't want to upset him. I thought he just needed time to himself. I gave Anne his mum a hug, then just sat down. Mum gave Anne a hug and cried with her. And dad tried holding in his tears but struggled. A week after was the funeral. I wore a loose black dress and my hair up. When we arrived I saw Ash. It was the first time I had seen him since the night of his fathers death. He gave me a hug and sat with me. After the speeches and everything we went to the graveyard. Everybody put a scoop of dirt on the coffin. When it was my turn a tear escaped my eye and I felt empty. The car ride home was silent and long. I was just wishing that Ashton and Anne where alright.
