#Chapter40
Honoring Nathaniel Mark Gray
Matt
Funerals are always rough, especially when the person is someone you love. We walked into the funeral home and greeted everyone. I hugged Uncle Jonas and Uncle Cayson. You never think someone will die until one day they do.

I sat with Jonas and Cayson as people came over and greeted us. The boys stayed close to me. I sat there as I looked at Nate, lying in the coffin. When you grow up with someone, you never imagine that you won't see them again.
I have loved Nate for as long as I could remember. Even when we didn’t get along, I always liked him. I looked at Jonas and Cayson as they looked at me, and I cried. They comforted me.
/"Our big brother thought the world of you,/" Cayson said.
/"I thought the world of your big brother./" I sniffled.
/"Peppermint Patty, Nate got lucky with you,/" Jonas said.
