It was the day of the funeral. It was nice out, but it was a bad day. I wore a blue dress with black on it. When we all got there I saw your ashes and just lost it. I sat down and just cried. My mom and Josh came too. Josh is my step dad if you didn't know. I sat in between them and cried on my mom's shoulder until she went to go smoke. Josh stayed with me and started cracking jokes. I was laughing. I understand why he was making jokes, he wanted me happy. I then saw my best friend there, Brooklyn. We ran to each other and hugged, and I cried on her. H we entire shoulder was wet because of my tears. She kept on telling me it was gonna be okay. When I knew it wasn't going to be okay. I sat back with my mom. You were signed up for the army, and the veterans who recruited you...they went up to your ashes and saluted them. I cried so hard. I couldn't even see. I just hurt all over. Your best friend Ryan and his other friend, they wrote a speech for you and cried so bad during it. The service was short. You worked at Dominos and guess what they had...Dominos pizza. I ate there. It was the first time I ate in two days. My mom even ate some and she didn't really like Dominos that much. But after I was done, I went back into the service room and I hugged your ash box and kissed it. It seems really dumb but I taljed to it too, like it was you. I took pictures of it too. I was about to leave when my mom walked in. She didn't know where I went. But she figured I'd be in there with you. She hugged me and then we went back to the dining area. We waited for everyone to get done. And we went home. I watched a movie before I went to bed.
