Setting Out of Significant Event
If I were going to pick a setting that attaches to my significant event I just wrote about It would take me to about four days later after the event. It was August 21, 2004. It was a beautiful day outside, about 80 degrees. The birds were chirping and the wind was barely boring. It was the perfect day outside for a wedding. This event was actually the complete oposite of a wedding. I went to my boyfriend's funeral. When you looked around all you could see was red eyes of distraught people running around frantically or hugging eachother. It was like looking at clumps of black through my teary eyes. My eyes were pretty swollen by then. The funeral was basically a blur but from what I remember there was about fifty people there I would say. There were all different tones of voices and cries during the service. The seats were wooden with maroon velvit covering them. There was a huge painting done of Wes. I can even remember the songs that were played. The first song was "The Dance" by Tim McGraw. The second song was "Hurt" by Christina Angulera. Last but not least, "Amazing Grace" was played. I remember looking up about that time and seeing Wes' mom dart outside of the funeral home. I didn't blame her because I was about to do the exact same thing. When we got out of the service I then just sat on the green grass with a couple other girls around. Some younger cousin was walking around different cliques I guess you could say with tissues that were well needed. There was so many red faces with red eyes, nose, and cheeks. It seemed as if alll the cliques were all coming together in this time of adversity. It was nice to see because a lot of friends that were angry before had now bandaged up their bond.
