Little soldier

Funereal blues

The funeral was today. I rolled over in my bed and the first thing I saw was the happy picture framed opposite my bed. My black lace dress hung from my wardrobe door and the black heels lay under it. I climbed into the shower and took my time. I did my nails black with the British army flag on one hand and flowers on the other because dad and mum were being buried in the same day and dad was in the army and mum loved flowers. I liked to think I was good at nail art but every time I did some id begin to cry and wipe it off and never do it again, but today I loved it the first time around. I got into my dress and put on make up and eye liner and a pinky lipstick. I out my feet in my shoes and packed my black velvet small handbag with a long gold chain with tissues and I reminded myself why I didn't put mascara on. I went downstairs and everyone else was sat in the kitchen in their funeral clothes. Joe wore a black suit with a white crisp shirts and a black tie. He'd done his hair nicely too and I knew he just liked to brush it back normally but he'd gelled it and styled it too. Sarah was wearing a black long tight dress and a black cardigan with black lumps and a black flower headband and Joe's dad pretty much wore the same as Joe. I nearly cried just seeing them all trying so hard to make this day better than it was already.

When dad and mum were buried finally everyone's as left. I was just stood between both their gravestones. I had my arms on each other them and my eyes stung from all the crying. I stared at the pink blossom tree at the bottom of their graves and I though how mum would like that and I saw the army memorial wreathes on dad's. I had read my speech before they were buried.

BACK TO SPEECH

"And Lily has been asked to say a few words" the vicar invited me up to the stand.

"Five years ago, nothing was happening in my life" I said "dad would disappear every so often but he came sprightly back the next day. I'd never understand why. I found out what he did a couple of months back and I hated myself for never caring and for never memorising those precious days he spent with us. Mum was always upset whenever dad went away but she would stay strong and she taught me too as well. They were the best parents I could ever ask for and I hope they know that. When dad visited me at school that time it hurt to learn he would be leaving the day after and I kept every second I could with him. Mum had times with dad but she never really saw him and I wish I would have let them have more time to themselves. Heaven has gained two amazing angel and I know they are happy and together so they can have all the time in the world to themselves"

"Thanks you Lily, that was heart warming and moving" the vicar ushered me to sit down and I walked off the steps with tears streaming down my face. Joe cuddled me and his parents gave me hugs and pats on the back. They really were the best. It just hurt to know I could never tel them that again.
