A little Piece of Heaven

Chapter 11- A funeral

October 23rd

When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I travelled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and welcome you home.

Roslyns pov*

Criss and I flew to California because Delilah has told me that our father is suffering from a heart condition. I was so shocked. I always thought my father was invincible. My heart breaks once  I see him laying in that hospital bed, hooked up to machines. Delilah and the guys all around him. Syn moves out of the way and gives me his spot. I take my dad's hand in mine and the tears just flow down my cheek. I feel someones hand on my shoulder, Criss, calming me. 

Delilah looks at me. "The doctors say he won't make it. This disease is too powerful." Not the words I wanted to hear. My baby was soon to enter this world and she might not get to meet her grandfather. This is horrible. And so later that night, my father passed away with Delilah and me at his side. He didn't even wake up so we could say goodbye. What am I going to do now? 

My dad, the only man in the world that matters to me more than anyone else dead. Life really isn't worth living right now.

“Mommy why did he have t..to go?” My daughter asks me crying.

“Baby I don't know your grandfather was a strong man and he just couldn't make it anymore.” The tears just flow down my cheeks. I hold my daughter, who just can't stop crying.

Today is such a sad day for the Avenged Sevenfold family...

We are all waiting for the limos to pick us up and take us to the funeral. We decided to have it outside even if it was a little chilly. That's something my father always love was the outside. Even when it was freezing cold.

The weather was nice for a fall day in California. The leaves were rustling in the wind. Everyone was crying and coming to Roslyn and I giving us their condolences. It sucked so bad watching our father laying there.

“Does anyone have anything to say before we lower the coffin?”

“I do.” I free from Matt's grip and move to the podium.

“My dad was a great man. He has helped so many bands make it big. He is truly going to be missed my many.” My infant son starts fussing I fix him in the harness and continue.
