Chapter 45

"Friends, family." Alvis began. "We are gathered here to not to mourn the loss of Edna, but to celebrate the life she had. A wise woman, a loving woman, and a mother to many. We all know that Edna danced to her own beat and did her own thing, and she has asked that as we lay her to rest we watch a previously planned firework show." He ended gesturing to the sky beside them and immediately fireworks were set off. It was such an Edna thing to request that Jacie couldn't help the slight chuckle that left her lips. "I love that woman." She said wrapping Peter in a hug, before moving to console her children and focus their attention on the firework show instead of the men filling in the grave. "Isn't it beautiful." Jacie said to Rose and Parker getting her youngest, Steven to look at the lights. Rose's wish came true, her newest sibling was indeed a boy. All were watching the firework show, it was in that moment that they had a moment of peace. -----*-
