Chapter 4: The funeral
At the funeral, Reanna stood by herself, she didn’t talk to anyone. She
didn’t want
to be near anyone.The sun seemed so cruel to her, as if it was laughing
at her pain. She
felt cheated, she and her mom were just starting to get everything
together. Then it was
all gone in a blink of an eye. She wore black sunglasses and cried
throughout the entire
ceremony. As they lowered the coffin into the ground she whispered
“Please don’t leave
me.” But her plea wasn’t answered. Reanna couldn’t take it anymore, as
tears streamed
from her eyes, she turned and walked away.
Kevin stood there with his head to the ground as he thought ‘If I
would’ve been
there sooner she wouldn’t be dead.’ Tears blurred his vision. A hand
tapped his shoulder.
Kevin turned around to see an unfamiliar face. The man was middle aged
and carried a
briefcase. he said “Mr. Richardson I’m Jack Nelson, Ms. Mitchelson’s
lawyer. I hope
you know that in her will she specified that she wanted you to become
guardian of her
children.”
Kevin cleared his throat and answered, “Yes sir I know.”
Mr.
Nelson said, “If
you come this way, I can give you the adoption papers for you to sign.”
Kevin followed
Mr. Nelson to a table where he signed the papers. Mr. Nelson stood up
and said “I know
this is no way to get children, but I hope you enjoy having children.”
Kevin watched Mr.
Nelson walk away and thought ‘Please God, help me be a good father.’
