Checking my phone for the fourth time I decide to cut through the woods as a short cut to the cemetery. My phone read 9am, I tucked my phone away in my front pocket and headed through the gate of the cemetery. I head to the back of the graveyard and stop in front of two headstones.

One read,

David Rayne

Always loved forever

Oct 31, 1960~Oct 20, 2007

And the second one reads,

Lucinda Athena Rayne

A beautiful soul, a beautiful strong hearted woman

Jan 13, 1962~Oct 20, 2007

I fell onto my knees, between the two graves not caring about getting my pants dirty. I slamed my hands onto the grass and wet sol, the grass sprouting between my fingers, I then riped it out of the ground. With the grass in my fists and myself on my knees I scream until I lose all of the oxygen in my body and my throat is sore.

Kneeling there, screaming, not caring if anyone heard, I slightly loosened my grip on the grass. I put my hands back onto the dirt and grass leeting the soil wet my palms, I hung my head low. Letting old tears fall from my pale face onto the two graves I kneel before, my mothers and my fathers. I remember it like the back my hand, it is tattooed, nailed into my heart and stuck in my heas as is the memory replays everyday and was a book before my eyes every moment.
