Death is an unfair thing: stealing someone's life when they don't deserve it. That's what happened to Adam, your 10-year-old son. Adam died in a car accident. The world came crashing down when you and Sean, your husband, received a call from the hospital announcing your son's death. Everything went black, lifeless, just tears, crying, helplessness, and painful grief. You lost one of your two children. Now, Rosie, your 5-year-old daughter, no longer has an older brother.
Rosie doesn't understand why her brother isn't here anymore, why you cry all the time, why Sean is sad, why her parents sleep with her at night, hugging her tightly.
Today is Adam's funeral. Rosie is sitting in her car seat in the back of the car, wearing a pretty black dress. You're sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a black dress and sunglasses to hide your red eyes. Sean is driving to your son's burial site, to say his final goodbyes. He's also wearing a black suit and a pair of sunglasses to hide his tears and the emptiness in his eyes.
