My brother wrapped his short arms around my waist as he sobbed quietly.
Moans and cries disturbed the subtle hums of the choir.
The priest ended his sermon with a short prayer and thanksgiving.
Soon after, the coffin was slowly lowered into the ground. My eyes overflowed with tears, I fell to my knees and begged God to bring her back, negotiating with him to rather take me instead.
My loud begging was heard by the crowd and 3 of them rushed to pick me up and hush me down.
I kicked my feet in the air to free myself out of their tight grip. As soon as I had my feet against the ground I ran. I don't know where I was running to, but my legs kept going. I heard sighs and gasps from the crowd as they witnessed me sway away. My little brother's voice calling me back but giving up at the realization that I was not making it back
I found myself seated on the sand next to the river in complete comtemplation. My weak self, sniffling and choking as I weeped.
"mom, where are you!?"
"you said you'd be with me in spirit, so where are you!?"
"don't leave me"
"I need you" I cried out, lifting my knees up and putting my head in between them make my cries hollow
I just wanted to hear her voice again
See her smile again.
I wished i had spent better days with her before she left.
I didn't understand why God had to take her now.
I sat, thinking maybe things would be better if I drowned myself in the calm waters of the river but that would be selfish of me to leave Faro on his own and let him go through the pain of losing a mother and a sister.
The sun was setting
I looked up to it, looking at how beautiful it looked today like an angel had painted its rays on to the sky
I thought of how mama was now an angel, in heaven. And that her and dad were now together again.
Somehow knowing that she was in peace, made feel better.
I'll smile for her, because I know she never meant to hurt us nor leave us.
