Dear Diary,
Today is the memorial for Kate, a great friend of mine and Lizabeths. Today will be all about remembering her life, and remembering how God had been working in her life.
Bye, gotta go.
As I walked the long walk I never thought about how precious life is. Just thinking about Kate helps me remember how beautiful life is. All those memories of us when we where littler or just memories of recent advents cause my heart to ache.
"Today is a day to remember Kate Abbey. Does anybody have any memories of Kate and want to come up and share them?" I stood up and walked to the pulpit. It felt as if everything was in slow motion.
"Hello Everybody," I said trying to hold back tears. My friend Tyler was there and he couldnt see me cry. That would be humiliating! "I am standing here to bring the testimony of my father. He was a great man who loved the Lord more than anything in this world." In the background I could hear my mother burst into tears. I look over and my stepfather was trying to calm her but she didnt stop. I looked to the left and saw Liz walk out of the service, with her mother following behind her. "Hold on just a minute." I ran off the stage and grabbed Lizzy's arm. "I want you to come with me" I whispered. We both walked up the the stage. "Thank you everybody for waiting. I have brought up my good friend Lizabeth. She and I where great friends of Kate and I wanted to have her hear this. When my dad died I lost hope about everything. Liz don't lose hope. This is all part of God's plan. You can remember Kate in your heart. I know this is very hard. I have went through this myself.It takes time but you will heal. I want to encourage you that this is part of God's plan, and dont lose hope. dont lose hope. trust God!" I said to lizzy. we both tried to hold back the tears, but could not. "Thank you Liz" I whispered. Lizabeth walked off the stage and I continued my speech, "As I was saying earlier, my dad loved the Lord more than anything. Even though he had sin like everyone, he was great, perfect. Kate was a wonderful girl. Like my dad she loved Jesus more than anything! I remember hanging out with her and going on walks and talking about her day. She would say, 'When I have kids I want them to be beautiful, Godly, children who love the one true God above more than me.' Now that I think back my mind races. As I try to hold back tears I want all of you to know how wonderful God made her. This is a testimony of how God really does work in your life. I hope you all remember that..."
After the service I hugged all her family. I went home and cried for hours. This life is hard. Even though we have food to eat, and a roof above us, we may think its all cool but its not.
