"We gather here today to honor two beautiful souls that are no longer here with us, but will by no means be forgotten, may they rest in peace, and may the lord protect them". A tear rolls down my cheek as I stare at the two coffins next to each other, my mother and my father. I begin to image what I'll do without them, who will make pancakes on the first Sunday of every month for no reason at all? Who will take Hayley to gymnastics? Who will be her mother and father? Who? How are we supposed to go on with our lives? I slowly walk to the now open coffins, my mother looks peaceful, as well as my mother. I feel guilty for being mad at her. For leaving all of this behind. Of course Hayley will have a home, with Caleb and Abby, but it's still unbelievable to imagine. I take Hayley by the hand, as well as Brennan with my other hand and we leave the ceremony to drive to the cemetery. Hayley lets go of my hand and walks off to Calebs car. "I can't go, I can't watch them be put into the ground for ever" I say to Brennan, he has tears in his eyes and he nods his head. We get into the car to leave, but we're not headed to the cemetery, we're going home. The drive is quite, except for when Brennan repeats that he loves me. But the silence takes over.

We pull into the driveway, of what I think is his house, but it's not, it's a random apartment. "Where are we?" I ask. "Home, we have and apartment now." He says. I show some excitement, because I've wanted this for ages.
"Marry me" he says. And my whole world begins to spin.
