It's been 2 weeks since my beloved mother passed away it's been hard but I'll get through it. Today is the funeral. We didn't want something big just a few family and friends like:
Enzo& his family
Papas sister and brother
Luis and his wife and kid
And a few of her coworkers
It's 2pm and the funeral is at 6 I decided to wear something simple but formal.
I put on some simple makeup, some mascara, I filled in my brows, some eyeliner, some plush and to finish it off my lipstick called Caramel Nude.
I decided to curl my hair after I was done I brushed my fingers through it to make it more natural. I put on my black-white mix heels that rap around my ankles. And walked out when I saw Enzo.
He looked so sexy in his clothes man how did I get so fucking lucky.
"Damn Baby you look fine in that skirt I might just want to rip if off you!" Now he made me blush a lot.
"Your cute when you blush!"
"You look handsome baby!"
"Well I have to say my girlfriend looks 10x better" I like the sound of that 'girlfriend'
We decided to take my car so we hopped in and we started to drive to the church that the funeral service was going to be held.
Unfortunately I was the one doing the speech for our family Luis couldn't because of his daughter and my dad just couldn't talk he's still in shock. So that left me and trust me I'm terrified but I know my mom would have wanted me to do this.
We get out and entre the building we see some people have arrived. I greet them with a 'thank you for coming' sentence.
After about another 15 minutes of waiting for people to arrive we had to start now.
ââ-You can put the song onâââ
"Saying that I'm feeling sad. Would be a bit too shallow. Words just can't explain how I'm feeling, so low. Life has taken away someone so precious, so dear. It's just not possible to imagine that you won't be near. Mama, this goodbye is going to be painfully hard and long but like you always said I'll try to be strong......" I started to cry but sucked it in.
"I Never meant someone so brave and strong like my mom. After my sister died 5 years ago she went into deep depression she struggled more then anyone she tired to kill herself because she couldn't handle the pain. But most people after surviving would do it again or be in a mental hospital. She on the other hand she tried to get better and she did. When she got diagnosed 7 months ago I felt my world collapse like nothing would get better. When I heard there was no way possible for her to heal I broke again but after that day I went to visit her In the hospital more like got a phone call saying she was going to die any second." I sniffed and took a deep breath.
I continued. "She was hurting and I saw the pain and suffering the cancer was causing her. The last few words she said to me was 'Never forget that I love you. Life is filled with hard times and good times. Learn from everything you can. Be the woman I know you can be' those words touched me and I will be the best woman I can be for her. Goodbye mama you will be missed!" I won't off stage and Enzo was at the end of the isle with open arms I slowly ran to him and hugged him.
Letting tears fall down my face not knowing that I was holding them in. After the service everyone went to the graves to bury her.
Well on the way to the grave Enzo put his hand on my thigh I felt more relaxed and it felt good.
We came to a stop and everyone surrounding where we decided to put her. There was a pound and a willow tree she would have loved how it looked. My papa and brother went to carry the box. Seconds later there coming from a corner holding up the box and held my mamas body.
Tears started to swell up my eyes. I noticed that both my brother and papa where crying they set the box down where they would be bring baring her. When that box was all the way down we threw rose petals down at her because dirt is to nasty for someone to sweet like her. Everyone got there turn and went back to there places. People said goodbyes and stood there crying before all of us started to slowly walk back to our cars.
I stood there for another 30 minutes admiring how beautiful the view was. A beautiful Lilac-breasted roller few across her grave and I had a feeling it was her because it few down and sat on the box that's one of her favourite birds. I said goodbye for one last time because walking away grabbing Enzos hand and disappearing in the trees.
3 months laterâââââââââââââ
"Hey baby get ready where going on a date!" Enzo calls from the living room. Enzo moved in after my mother's funeral. It's great having him here no I love it!
"Where are we going my love?" Peeking out of the door to look at him.
"Oh no I ain't telling you nothing it's a surprise!" Uh! Come on
"Enzo you know better then anyone that I hate and I repeat I hate surprises!" I exclaim and it's true.
"Yup but it's a surprise rather you like it or not, just get ready ok?" Is all he said.
"Fine but formal or casual?"
"Formal hun!"
"Ok!" I yell
I have the prefect outfit. I didn't get it to long ago and Enzo hasn't seen it it's beautiful and I'm in love with it like love at first sight just with clothes instead.
I take a 15 minute shower. I get out and wrap a towel around me. I curled my hair and then brushed it through with my fingers. I put my usual makeup, mascara, filled my brows, eyeliner, blush, and my Caramel Nude lipstick but I add something unusual i don't add but felt like today was going to be special. So I put eyeshadow.
I put on my white heels. I get out and can't find Enzo. He probably is getting ready so I seat on one of those bar stools in the kitchen.
5 minutes later Enzo comes out looking hot as ever.
"Damn baby you look handsome!"
"I could say the same thing to you darling." He just knows how to make me blush doesn't he.
He takes my hand and leads me out to get in he's car.
"So where are we going?" I really want to know. But something about today feels exciting.
"I'm not telling you it's a surprise but you'll like it." I won't be able to make him tell me so I'm just going to try to be patient.
He tells me to close my eyes but I don't want to so he puts he's hand to cover my eyes since I'm being stubborn.
He wraps he's hands around my waist helping be out until he closes the door behind us. Just by the smell I think we are outside.
Suddenly I feel no hands around me so I open my eyes I gasp at what I saw..
There was rose petals and candles leading a path. Around me was a beautiful willow tree a pound right ahead. Beautiful flowers and birds flying.
I started to walked making sure I don't trip because it's pretty dark Well the sun is setting but it is beautiful.
A walked a few more seconds until I saw him.
My Enzo
The love of my life
The man that makes me happy
He was standing right there with a willow tree behind him it was beautiful something so simple but so generous.
I came closer and he looks at me takes my hand and starts to talk.
"I'm not some guy who is cheesy and cares so much but ever since I meet you, you have taught me love and compassion. You make me happy you make me a better person, I love waking up next to you ever morning, I love your beautiful green eyes, the way you see the world and never give up even if it sends you shit. You have gone through the most fucked up things and yet your still standing. I love you and will always love you.." My eyes started to get watery
And next thing you know he's BENDING DOWN ON ONE KNEE!!!!! My hearts going to come out any second now.
He takes out a velvet box and opens it up.
"Will you Cesar Maria Hernández make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"
My heart just skipped a beat I was standing there in shock looking down at it, the ring was beautiful something I have never seen before. Before I knew it I was standing there for far to long not realizing that I haven't said anything.
"YES YES I WILL MARRY YOU!" He slides the ring in my finger and brings me up and swings me around. Where both laughing and crying happy tears.
After everything that has happened in my life I'm so great full that life brought me back to Enzo. I love him so much and can't wait to marry the man of my dreams.
