I held Summer in my arms as it began to sprinkle. Luke held an umbrella over Summer and I. We watched as everyone placed their white roses on Rachel's casket. After their rose was placed the all headed to their cars.

Summer slept as the raindrops dripped off of the black umbrella. We walked up together to place our white roses on her mahogany colored casket. As I stepped forward to place the rose down a single raindrop fell onto my black dress right were on top of my heart. I looked up to the sky as one fell onto my forehead and the next onto my cheek where the tears still stained my face.

I placed the white rose on the casket and Luke did the same. We watched as the the casket was lowered into the ground. I looked at Luke. I have never seen so much pain. His eyes were puffy and his heart that had been so damaged, was throw in the ground with Rachel. How could everyone we loved be lost so young?
