Ryan was filled with mixed emotions as he stood outside the church, about to say goodbye to his loving father. The anguish weighed heavily on his heart, making it even more difficult to accept the reality of the situation. Little did he realize that an unexpected twist was on the way.
Ryan’s thoughts were interrupted by the sharp bark of his beloved friend, Bella. Surprised, he turned to his car, where Bella was plainly upset. Something was clearly wrong. Ryan soothed Bella down with a simple hand motion, patting her head through the open window. “Now, stay, Bella,” he whispered softly as he entered the church.
Ryan took his seat next to his mother as the sad atmosphere permeated the room. The casket containing his father, Arnold, stood closed in the front, as mourners paid their respects respectfully.
