Tiffany opened her emerald eyes and looked down at the tombstone below her. Her curls blew through the cold Orlando air. She kept her eyes squarely focused on the name Emily Turner-Camarillo that was written across the top in an angelic font. Her picture was framed in the center. It was everyone's favorite picture of her. Instead of putting the normal posed picture on the tomb stone like most people did Justin and Tiffany agreed on putting a picture of her on her 21st birthday. It was the happiest she ever looked.
Tiffany smiled and glanced down at the scripture that Caitlyn insisted on placing below her picture. "Love is patient and kind. Love isn't jealous or boastful. Love isn't arrogant or rude. Love doesn't insist on its own way. Love isn't irritable or resentful. Love doesn't rejoice at wrong; but in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. --1 Corinthians 13: 4-7" Tiffany bent down and placed a picture of two smiling beautiful girls next to the words "Friend, Lover, Wife, Mother."
One had long blond curls that fell below her shoulders. Her dark forrest green eyes were enormous and her smile was just like her fathers, perfect. The other girl had long straight blonde hair that sat just above the shoulders. Her cat like green eyes were just as big as the other girl's. Tiffany got back up and brushed away the tears on her rosy cheeks.
"Emily, we miss you terribly. It's been a long few years, especially for Ian and I. I'm sure you're angry with me, I know I've only come to visit on your birthday but for some reason it's SO difficult to actually bring myself over here and talk to you," Tiffany paused as she sniffled up her tears and continued, "So I guess you want to know what's going on right? Well, your daughters name is Emily Nicole. We named her after you. Of course that's only proper right? Her half sister's name is Michelle. Everyone thinks they're twins. They practically are.
Ian and Emily are living with us right now. Ian wants to be a part of Emily's life so badly and of course you didn't tell us that you two got married before you had the baby. He said you wanted to be married when you had a kid. I guess that's good.
Lance and Nina got married and Nina's pregnant. Big surprise right? She thinks she's having a boy.
Ally found out that JC and Julyette kissed and she flipped out. The two broke up for about a year and JC came crawling back to her. So she forgave him.
Joey and Mona got married too. Chris was their best man, kind of scary huh? Mona then got caught trying to sleep with Joey's brother Steve and they got divorced.
Caitlyn actually found herself a nice man and settled down. He can actually put up with all her bull shit too. It's nice.
Raianna disappeared for a while. School was riding her ass majorly. She graduated though and she's in Africa on vacation with her boyfriend. She's accomplished a lot and she ADORES the hell out of Michelle and Emily.
Justin and I are good with the exception of fighting. We argue a lot. I guess you can't always have a perfect marriage. The girls start school tomorrow. I can't believe how quick they're growing up Emily."
Tiffany paused for a moment trying to re-gather herself from all the emotions that were pouring out of her. She let the years stream from her eyes as she tried to catch her breath from crying. She took in a deep breath and continued.
"You would be so proud of Emily. She's already reading. She's SO smart. She knows exactly who you are and she thinks you're the prettiest thing she's ever seen. I promise to bring her, them, here when they get a little older. Ian says hi and he loves you. He tells me he prays to you every night. I don't know if he's telling the truth but he said he does.
I miss you Em. I love you. I want you to know I am terribly sorry for EVERYTIME I have hurt you. I'm sorry. I have to go. I love you. I promise to come see you more."
With that Tiffany gathered her thoughts and turned away from the tombstone.
