After the tragedy of Alonzo and Melissa marriage two babies was born into the world not together with Alonzo and Melissa. Jalisha is in a bad place trying to accept the changes between her and Alonzo. Taking care of Melissa is...
Alonzo* Walking behind Melissa casket was breaking my heart. I walked with the kids holding their hands. The tears and cries filled the place. It was packed. All the workers from work, her family and friends was there. Kwan was shaking so bad. As the song played and we walked to view her body I felt my knees buckle. This was my first love and to know that the woman I cheated on her with practically gave her over to her killer killed me. We got to the casket finally. It felt like a eternity to get there. She laid there looking so beautiful. I still can't believe this will be the last time that I lay my eyes on her. As I stood there all kind of memorable moments came back to mind. I thought about how we met. When we got married. Even the last time that we made love. It was so passionate. I should have just said I will take her back then. Tears felled my eyes and fell on her casket. I felt light headed. Then I felt a hand land on my shoulder. It was Jackson.
"Come on man. Don't do this to yourself. Let's go sit down."
"No man. I got to stand here with her."
"Alonzo you have done all you can do for her. It's not your fault that Jason was abusing her. You did what you could."
Listening to Jackson talk just broke me down.
"Man I can't do this." I yelled out.
Jackson grabbed me and walked me to my seat and sat next to me. After everyone walked around and saw her they closed the casket. We couldn't deal with the casket being open all through the service. As the pastor got up to speak I put my head down in my hands.
Pastor* Let us pray: "Heavenly Father. We are here today to celebrate the life of Melissa Chapman. We ask that you cover this family with your love, protection, and healing. Someone lost their mom, daughter, sister, wife, coworker, or friend. In this time of sorrow we ask that you mend their broken hearts. Let them know that you are a God that you make no mistakes. Touch her son right now God. Be a mother to him. Shower him with your love. Comfort them as a whole. We thank you for your daughter Melissa. We Thank you for the time we had with her. And we give your name all the glory in Jesus name amen."
Congregation: Amen
Kwan* Seeing my mom in that casket almost broke me here. I still can't believe Jason killed my mama. My grandparents asked me if I wanted to go back with them and live. I said no I'm ok with dad. Even though he is not my dad he still take care of me. They pleaded with me but I was ok with not going. My life was here with Amira and Dad. As they talked at mom funeral I just thought about all the time I had with her. I smiled when I thought about the night of the banquet and mom jumped in singing along with my favorite song. I loved her so much. I will always remember her. We had a picture standing next to her casket of her. As I stared at it I broke down crying.
"Wow my mom dead and gone. This is hard for me."
My dad put his arms around me and said "I got you son. I love you."
I looked at him and smiled.
"Thanks dad."
Amira* Seeing Mama Melissa in that casket was so scary. She was just here and now she's gone. Why did he have to kill her? Why he couldn't leave her alone? I have so many questions coming to me and I want answers. When he threatened us I really thought he was joking but I guess he was not. Mama Melissa was my best friend. I loved her like she was my own mama. I don't know how I will go on without her. I grabbed Kwan hand and squeezed it. He looked at me and smiled. I blushed and smiled back.
Alonzo* It was my turn to get up and talk. This was nerve wrecking. I walked up and stood in front of her casket. And as I opened my mouth to speak tears ran down my face and I broke down. I felt two hands in each one of mine. I opened my eyes and there was my kids on each side of me. All you heard through the building was cries and sniffles.
"Ladies and gentleman thank you all for coming to celebrate the life of Melissa with me and my kids. We really do appreciate all the love and support you guys are given and gave. Melissa was a wonderful mom, wife, friend, and whatever role she played in your life.
When we first met she wouldn't give me a time of the day. She gave me a hard time."
Everyone laughed.
"But she eventually gave in. We didn't date long before we was married. We had our ups and downs but we never gave up on each other. There are some things I wished I did different. But I didn't. I love you Melissa and I will always will. We will miss you."
I leaned down and kissed her casket. The kids did the same. And we went and sat back down. All we heard was clapping after sat down. I can truly say that Melissa would've been pleased with us. We got up and walked out the church so we could go to the burial site. Now this was gonna be hard. Watching her casket go into the ground. They did all their saying and did the ceremony to commit her body to the ground.
As the pastor finished we all walked around and laid our flowers on the casket. Some kept their rose as a keepsake. I walked to her grave.
"Goodbye baby. I will always love you. And I promise you I will take care of Kwan. Rest In Peace."
