"Sarah, Josh is downstairs," Mom says.
"Okay." She turns to leave my room. "Wait, Mom? Should I wear the dress or black?"
"I really don't know. I would wear black and then change into the dress if he wants you too."
"Okay." I put on a black dress and go downstairs. "Josh, hey. You ready?"
"Hey, Sarah! Yeah. Well, no. You?"
"No." He gives me a hug. "Where are the boys?"
"In the backyard. Go get them, will you?"
"Sure." I walk into the backyard. "Luke, Mike, let's go."
We walk to the car and drive to the cemetery with my parents, Josh, and Jessie.
"Do you remember where the she is?" Jessie asks.
"Yeah, she's over here," Josh says. "I'll go first." We walk over to Rachel's grave. He grabs a white rose out of the bouquet in Mom's hands. "Rachel, baby, today was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives. Everyone who loves you is here." Josh starts crying. "I'm sorry. I, why? Why you?" Dad goes over to Josh.
"It's okay." Josh places the rose on the grave along with a wedding ring.
"Isn't Mommy 'posed to be here?" Lucas asks. I start crying. We walk to the car and drive home.
