Never Trust a Thot

Chapter 12

ASIA POV

It was the day of my grandmothers funeral. The weeping was gone start all over again. I knew she was in a better place but I have been knowing this ladyy for 15 years man. I knew I was gone have a break down because I couldn't bare seeing my grandmother being 6 feet under, gone for good. We'll until we meet again in heaven,. She didn't even get to see me graduate brugh. I found that so fucked up. My grandma use to always tell me when a family member enters the family member a famy member is lost.. Guess that was true.

The usher brought us and other family members in for seating, and had every one to stand in respect.

Preacher: We are gathered here today to celebrate the life and to honour the memory of clara Louise Dunn It is
the death of our friend that has brought us together but his/her life that we wish to remember. We are drawn here by our common love, our common respect and our common grief. This is certainly an occasion for sorrow but may it also be an occasion for thanksgiving because we are thankful for the gift of life and we are thankful that Clara Louise Dunn lived among us.

I dozed off reminiscing the times me and my Ladyy had. I remember the time we flew up to the country in Louisiana and met these country people. This girl named eve turned out to become my best friend her mom at had a lot of money. I remember when I was 12 and I was getting picked on on the bus and my ladyy got on that bus and confronted those kids, I remember when my ladyy saved my life.. I almost committed suicide.. I remember when my ladyy taught me how to eat like a lady. We had so many memories and they were running through my head like water. By the time I snapped into the real world it was time to view hew body. Mia asked if I wanted to go and we went holding eachother hands tightly.

Mia: *whispering* Asia?

Asia: *stops dozing* huh?

Mia: you ready to go up there?

Asia: yes *holding her hand*

Mia: come on *gripping her hand tightly*

We walked to my grandmothers casket and I broke down. Just seeing her face made me feel dead inside. I didn't know what I was going to do knowing that she's dead and that I'd never see her again.

After a few minutes of people fanning me. Mia helped me up and went outside for the burial.

Preacher:There is no answer to death but to live and to live vigorously and beautifully. We give respect and dignity to the one we mourn only when we respect and dignify life and when we live life to the fullest. The best of all answers to death is the continuing affirm- ation of life. Now, for us, the living, may the love of friends, the joy of memory and our hopes for the future give us strength and peace that we may go forward together.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our service for Clara Louise Dunn. Her family extends their warmest invitation to you all to join them in the reception room for some refreshment, fellowship and cheer.
Let us all stand now while the family takes their leave and then we'll follow along. Thank you.

Asia: *crying* I miss her so much.

Mia: *teary eyes* I know *rubbing her back*

We left out of the church and entered the graveyard. They better have stayed by me because I might've jumped in that damn grave..

Preacher: In cremating the body of our friend we do so with respect for that body which during life was a unique and much-loved person and we are reminded of the words of Socrates that "no evil can befall a good person either in life or after death".
In placing the body of our friend in the gentle earth we do so with respect for that body which during life was a unique and much-loved person. We dedicate this simple plot, under the wide and open sky, to her memory. We are reminded of the words of Socrates that "no evil can befall a good person either in life or after death".
