Chapter 192: The Funeral

Keith closed his eyes, sensing his friend’s warm embrace. His voice was weak as he said, “Thanks, Evan, for coming.” “Of course, man! What kind of a friend would I be if I didn’t come here,” Evan said. He patted Keith’s back, proposing, “Shanty and I are here for you. II

The next to embrace Keith was Shantelle. She gave encouragement and said, “At least Uncle Charles got to see Charlene before resting. He must have been happy during his last few days.”

Upon letting go, Keith nodded, acknowledging, “He was. And I knew how he held on longer for Charlene.”

“Uncle Keith, I’m sorry for your loss,” Lucas said with woeful eyes.

Keith ran his fingers through Lucas’ hair and answered, “Thank you for being here, Lucas boy. You made your uncle happy. Now go to your aunt and make her happy as well. Then, grandma Helen too.”

Behind Evan and Shantelle, Erick Thompson and Clara approached Keith. William and Eleanor also came to pay respects. They offered Keith an embrace. Erick, for one, expressed, “I’m glad you patched things up with Charles, Keith. At least you won’t have regrets in his passing.”

“I.” Keith gulped air down his throat and replied, “I can’t say, I don’t, but I am thankful I had time with him.”

When it was time for William to hug Keith, he said, “I don’t have any wise words to say. We all have our own way of dealing with grief, Keith. Just remember, life goes on, and you still have a family that loves you.”

It really wasn’t like Keith to be emotional, but he couldn’t help but feel teary- eyed. He sucked in a breath and answered, “Appreciate your wise words, Uncle.”

It was the day of Charles’ funeral, and Keith’s friends and relatives arrived one by one. Wendell and his wife turned up. Like Evan and Shantelle, Milan and Wendell embraced him. There were fewer words but more warmth, which consoled him.
