My dad's burial

When i was almost 6 I went to watch my dad get barried in bear lake. thats where my mom and emmett's parents wanted him to get barried.  The whole time I was thinking my dads in a box, my dads in a box. When we were driving in the car we passed a big grove of trees my dad planted.  We walked to where he was going to be put and all of the sudden i was mad. I was mad because my mom didn't' let me see him at the funeral and I could tell she wasn't going to let me see him now. MOM OPEN THE BOX! I screamed. Bostyn I just want you be scared and see daddy like this. She said. I peeked through the cracks in the box but all I saw was white clothing. I want to see DADDY! Bailey and Teage argued with mom too. Finally we gave up. I latter realize  my mom didn't want me to see because of the bulet hole on his forehead. It was hard to not see my dad, but I trust my mom made the right choice.

Death is hard to understand. I didn't know then that it meant he would never come back to us. I thought it would be over soon. But it isn't over. When people die they don't come back to life. For kids that is hard to know. So moms help us understand. I love my mom for always loving me.
