So in my religion you have to buried in less then 42 hours , this night was the night of washing his body. We're all getting ready to go. When we get there it's like a movie it's so dark and everything is so spooky but we go straight into the building. There are all these men praying and I'm just saying in my head my dad knew a lot of people. Me and my mom are just sitting there and then it finally hits me that my dad isn't here anymore.
I just bust out into tears and I cannot help myself I just keep crying and crying. It was just one of those events when you just didn't care any more because you were the one who had to grow up without your father.
My grandfather comes and ask us " would you like to see his body?" Of course we said yes. Then suddenly he changes his mind and says " no , you guys are to young and will be scarred for life." And I'm just thinking in my head I'm already scarred for life when my last image of my dad was me telling me that I hate him. My aunt by marriage seen his body but not my mom.
