A New Life
Dressed in a lovely flowing black dress I walked solemnly to the celebration. Aunt Asteria was my most favorite aunt, even though she technically was not family. Asteria was my late mother’s best friend, they spent so much time together that she was basically my other mom. It happened late last year Asteria was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer, the doctors gave her one year to live, she didn’t make it one year. After her diagnosis, she went straight to chemotherapy and from then her health deteriorated quickly. Now here I am walking into her funeral, walking into my second mother’s funeral. As one can imagine I was a mess. The funeral was an elegant affair celebrating her life. I thought I was the last one left at the funeral so I left my purse and phone on my seat and went to say goodbye one last time. Walking out of the funeral I was numb and did not realize that there was a paper in between my phone and purse.
