The smell of lilacs clogged my nose, making small diamonds form in my eyes. My wife hugged my arm, sniffing and trying to pull a smile.I stroke her head as she leaned on me. My dark suit blends in with the grays and blues in the air. Sam, my friend, stood not far away, flashing a frown. I close my eyes, thinking of times we had with Aron. Picnics, sports, tree house.. But I swear, best time we all ever had was when we had to run from some bullies, then Kenny fell into a dumpster, Sam rolled into an alley, John clung for dear life on an apartment fire escape ladder, and I fell into a manhole. Haha, that was a good day..

After they let Aron down for a nap, the rest of us stayed and talked. “Hey, whats the best moment form when we were kids?” asked Sam. We all thought, then I came up with;

“When Aron’s soda came outta his nose when we were making fun of Spongebob.. " I said.

We all laughed, something we hadn’t done in a while. Sam raised his beer,

“To Aron..”

“To Aron!”
