Darry And Soda's Funeral-Personal Narrative

It was two weeks before Mom and Dad died, we had come to celebrate the new car. As I was reminiscing, my nightmare sped through my head in a split second, but it still managed to scare me enough to scream in a crowded restaurant. My brothers and Mary leaped out of their seats, and Soda hugged me. I found it amazing, how Darry and Soda seemed to know, I guess they were thinking about our last time here too.

Darry got a football scholarship in the local college, and he is enrolled for the upcoming semester. He quit his roofing job, and resigned as head coach.

Maybe some greater force does have a plan for everyone, even us
