Personal Narrative: A Parent's Funeral

Improved Essays
The funeral was just as gloomy as the weather, but I can not worry now I need to get my son home.It is time that I just face the facts, my husband, Adam's father is gone. Being here only made me remember the moment the cops called to break the news all I hear around me is people apologizing for my loss while I am to dazed to respond, and today so far has been the same as the phone call. “Adam it is time to go, let's get in the car.”I told my son, with fake happiness.

“No honey, let's go home daddy can't come with us.”I said on the verge of tears.

“WHAT!!!!, no he promised he’d come back, he promised he doesn’t break a promise,” he says violently slamming his door.
