The Funeral of my Life

Tabitha's P.O.V.
Her casket was light pink, with white rims. Whoever had done her makeup had made her look so beautiful. Her dark hair was hanging down over her shoulders with a hint of curl in it. Her hands were crossed over her chest, with red painted nails, wrapped through her slender fingers, was the necklace I had given her for Christmas last year. It read "Best Sister Award." It was like I was saying goodbye to my life, along with her because it would never be the same.

A tear slid down my cheek, and I quickly wiped it off as Davin came up next to me and wrapped his arm around my waist to comfort me. I stood there for a while, until the service was about to begin. I opened the note that I had written, and re-read it again. The note said;
~~~

My dearest Heidi,

I will not think of you as just “no more.” As the sun comes up today, and as it goes down on the very last day that I will live, you will always be my sister, and best friend.

As of now, I am speechless, without any words to  say. I am hurt, broken, bruised, shattered and alone since you left, because you didn't only leave the world.. You left me, what am I supposed to do without you? I can't get my head straight. God please give me the strength to make it through today, and tomorrow. All I can ask is why you had to leave me so fast, but I already know the answer. God needed another angel, and you fit the profile perfectly. You took half of my heart when you left, half of me, along with you. My life, my all, will never be the same. The last thing I want to say is goodbye, and that every day I will miss you more than the last. Goodbye my beloved sister, goodbye my best friend. For I will never in all my life forget about all of our wonderful times, all the days we spent laying out among the stars, dreaming of what's out there. I promise, to this day and every day from now on, when I look up at the stars, I will remember you.
Forever and always, I will love you
Your best friend,

 Tabby

I closed the note carefully, and placed it in between her folded hands. The service was beautiful, and as the pallbearers’ carried out her casket, and as she was lowered to the ground, I cried. I cried more than I ever have in all my life. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I wasn’t ready for this, but I was being forced to.

No one ever knows when their time is up. I could die tomorrow because it’s not promised to anyone. Everyone knows the all too famous quote “Live everyday as if it’s your last.” All I could think about was why out of everyone in this world, the billions upon billions, why Heidi.
