Chapter 895: The English Rose (Part II)
(a)
It was a cold, rainy day. ?????·? K?ANSHU·COM
All dressed in black, attending the funeral in Kaohsiung.
We stood silently on both sides of the tomb, watching the white coffin being carried by the waiter of the funeral home.
Sue and the children followed behind the coffin with expressions of concern.
Although death has little to do with people's age, the so-called "there are no old and young on the Huangquan Road", people still feel that this kind of accidental death in middle age is the most tragic. Because of leaving behind the' wives and underage children halfway, this kind of blow is very heavy for any family.
People all looked at Sue and the children with great sympathy.
Because Kaohsiung died by suicide, violating the teachings of his religion, no clergy attended his funeral, and no one celebrated his final mass.
The funeral was officiated by an old friend of theirs in the UK.
Su, on behalf of the bereaved family, delivered a speech at the funeral, expressing gratitude to the guests, expressing remembrance to the deceased, and expressing the grief of relatives and friends.
The speech has already been written by the funeral service staff, and Su only needs to make a slight revision to it according to his own mood.
As Su spoke, the funeral service staff held an umbrella behind her.
Sue was wearing a black mesh veil, and through the hazy veil, she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
Her voice was low and calm, speaking slowly.
She looked back on her acquaintance and love with Kaohsiung, and looked back on so many years of married life, those moments in Kaohsiung that made her heartbeat, the language that made her tears, and those moments when Kaohsiung surprised her and made her sad and indignant.
She recalled the birth moment of their children, the days when Kaohsiung left them and suddenly disappeared, and she took the children to do the funeral for Kaohsiung's parents.
She quoted a sentence from "The Story of Rose" with emotion: "How is it an art for two people to live together, it is simply a difficult project to build the Great Wall." ”
"When he came back to us, it was also such a cold day, drizzling outside," she said. We hugged tightly in front of the fireplace fire. He told me that everything was calm and there would be no problems. He told me not to worry. He won't suddenly disappear again. I thought that the most difficult moment was over. But I didn't expect that it would only be the beginning of the difficult rest of my life. One? Reading a book??·? KANSHU·COM”
She said that although in this life, as a family member, the time spent with Kaohsiung cannot be said to be long, but it cannot be said to be short. In these short years, Kaohsiung has deeply engraved herself in the lives of herself and her children. No matter how time passes and how personnel change, Kaohsiung will always be in their lives and become an inseparable part of their lives. She is also convinced that their joys, sorrows and sorrows in the future will still be closely related to the soul of Kaohsiung. Although Yin and Yang are separated and will never be seen again, this relationship between lips and teeth, flesh and blood, will continue. Kaohsiung will continue to live in their lives, and in that sense, it is a way for him to live forever.
Sue said that everyone will have their own ending. At this moment, as a family, she and her children hope that everyone can see the light of God at the end, see the light of heaven, and be calm and joyful, and walk on the right path.

Su's speech, sincere, affectionate and righteous, made many people cry.
After Su's speech, the coffin was slowly placed into the prepared tomb.
Then, the band began to play a lamentation.
After listening to it for a while, I recognized that this was the famous song "Candle in the Wind" that was played at Princess Diana's funeral.
Its lyrics go like this:
“goodbe-england'srose

After the band played, the people also bowed their heads in silence. Many women were sobbing, and Ann was crying quietly.
Behind the veil, Sue said to us: "Once upon a time, there was an old couple who had lived together for decades, and finally the husband came to the end of his life. At the death bed of the husband, his wife read a poem by Geegordonbron in his ear, and the husband left the world at the sound of the poem. The farewell was very quiet and there was no rush at all. ”
She said: "I can't memorize that poem. However, I remember the last sentence. The last sentence is: However, on this moonlit night, we will not travel together again. ”
After she finished speaking, she threw the red rose in her hand towards the white coffin lid.
She said, "Goodbye." Kaohsiung. ”
Starting with the children, people walked around the coffin in turn, one by one, throwing the roses in their hands to the lid of the coffin.
The funeral staff then began to fill the coffin with earth.
The rain is pouring and the mourning is endless.
In this way, I held my daughter's cold little hand tightly, and in her low crying, I said goodbye to Kaohsiung: this man who has loved me all my life and cared for me all my life, but has not received anything in return.
My best friend in this world.
Brothers and sisters who are closer than brothers.
In the moment when the white color of the coffin was covered with dirt, I felt deeply that he would always be in my life.
I silently said in my heart, "Rest in peace, Brother Kaohsiung." I can't dedicate my love and my life to you, but I will leave you the image of me you've seen forever at this age. ”
"No one will ever see me again, as you once saw."
"I sacrifice it to you, and with you, I will be buried forever in this darkness."
I said to Kaohsiung in my heart: "I will follow your last wishes, protect your family, and strengthen my heart." You can go with confidence. ”
