His funeral was sadder than a rainy day. Closer and closer the moment came. The only thing I could do was feel fear. Slowly taking him out of the hearse, I knew this was it. Watching him throughout my life, I never thought he would die this way. Going back on the great memories, I realize there are no more. Thinking about how sad it is, makes my heart sore.
Losing a person so close to you is extremely hard. No one should ever go through pain, like I did. The trembling was intense, and the crying was uncontrollable. Losing a family member was the worse experience of my life.
I see his beautiful eyes every time I close mine, I see the memories when I sleep. But I don't feel his presence anymore. It's quiet, it's lonely. I never got to say goodbye.
