I still wasn’t sure what to feel, rejoiced? relieved? I sat silently while I watched Nathan take the body out back. To bury him. I wondered if the boy had had a family, he barely passed for seventeen. Headlines in news programs flashed in my head before I could deny them entry. I shook my head in the hopes that they would leak away.
The dewy grass glistened with the crystal water drops in the sunset. I stroked the white marble deftly and sighed to myself. I bent down to lay the roses on the stone gently. I ran my fingers along the inscription. HERE LIES CADENCE AND CALEB WALKER.LOVING MOTHER AND FATHER.DIED SEPTEMBER 17th 2013.THEY WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED.
