Sorry
If I had a choice, I would’ve shown up late and sat in the back but that didn’t happen because for one, Ma is with me and she says it’s not respectful to be late, and secondly we got a ride with Bobby, who arranged the funeral, so we arrived early to an empty church.
When I got dressed this morning in the suit and shoes Ma laid out for me, she told me I looked good. Too bad that’s not how I feel. In less than an hour, Kenny will be stretched out in his casket at the front of this church. Really, if I had a choice, I’d stay home. I’m not ready to say goodbye to my best friend. Who would be?
Bobby came over late last night. Ma must’ve called him after I told her I didn’t want to go to the funeral. Ma likes to act all rough and tough, but one time I heard her on the phone saying that
