Blake, Braya, Wilson, Ford, Jayna and I drove back to Northern California for my parents' funeral in May and everybody that we knew was there at the church that the ceremony was being held at. Even my best friend and sister Sherri was there too and she greeted us with hugs. Then we all went in the church to see mine and my brother's parents' pics above their caskets and then the priest did his speech and then my brother talked about them. Then, it was my turn and I took a deep breath and Blake wrapped his arm around.

"It's ok Babe. I'm right here. I'm right here," he said. Then I got up and stood in front of the mic and began my speech.

"My parents Carlene and Jeff were great parents and also great friends to me. They really knew how to take care of me and Ev when we were little and they really knew how to make us laugh and how to love us like real parents should love their child. It's really sad to see their lives be cut short because of this tragedy. However, they will always be with us in our hearts and I can't wait to be reunited with them. Thank you. We love you Mom and Dad," I said and then everyone applauded and I sat down next to Blake and buried my head into his shoulder and he hugged me.

"Sh. Sh. It's ok," he whispered into my ear. Then the pastor did his prayer and then we headed to the reception hall. After it was over, we said our "goodbyes" to our family and friends and drove back to our hotel in Sacramento. Once we got there, we put the kids down for their nap and Blake and I sat down on a fold out couch in the living room and cuddled. I laid my head down on his chest and he wrapped his arm around me and held me close to him.

"It's ok. I'm here for you," he said and he pecked me on the lips.

"I know. I love you BG Babe," I said.

"I love you too Em Babe," he said and then we kissed and hugged each other. Then, we decided to take a little nap ourselves.

Chapter 13 is coming up soon. 😊
