I feel like I cant go to bed until I right this. Im writing this because I never want to forget a detail about today.
Me Hannah and ashli got to testas. Kevin and Monica came over. We all went to dennys. We met up with Jeremy, Tiffany, DJ, Taffer, and Cody. Then we went to BP and met up with Ricky, Shelly, Jared, Uncle Tommy and Morgan. Then we all got on the turnpike and were off. We got separated a few times along the way but for the most part we all traveled together and it was really nice. We were having a lot of fun it felt like we were going on a roadtrip or to Disney or something. Then we would remember were going to Bronsons funeral.
We stopped a lot along the way, Walmart, Sonic, Gas stations but we finally made it up there. Driving through The Villages where he lived was really tough. We were all following Ricky and then he pulled into a driveway. We all looked at each other. We were at bronsons moms house. Alexa Alyson Lutz and Chuckie were already there. I started crying just being there. Every single one of us was in black it was so depressing. It started raining so we got into the car. As we were talking, we saw a rainbow in bronsons yard. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen. It was 10 feet away. It went from the tree to the grass. Right there in front of us in bronsons yard. Ashli took a picture on her iphone and it went away. It was there for 15 seconds. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
We all drove to the wake. I walked in. signed the guestbook. Took a little card that said RIP BRONSON MCCABE with his picture and some info on it. And walked into the room. When I saw it was an open casket I almost collapsed. When I got up there I felt sick to my stomach. He was so white. He just layed there. It was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. It looked just like him, just so white and lifeless. I don’t know why there wernt any scratches or cuts on him if he got into a car accident? I cried and cried until I couldn’t cry anymore.
There were two big bulliten boards filled with pictures of him since he was a baby. Iv never seen any pictures of him under the age of 16. He had blonde curly hair!! He was so adorable. Pictures of him with santa, easter bunny, fighting crocodiles, throwing swords, family vacations. Then there were recent pictures. There was even one that I took! But there was only one picture of him with a friend. And that was him and Chris. When I saw that I started crying histerically. It breaks my heart that chris wouldn’t come to the funeral. He was the ONLY friend on those bulliten boards. It makes me want to hate him so much.
I met his mom, his dad and his sister. His mom is beautiful. She has bronsons smile. His dad is a big fat papa bron bron biker dude. Tattoos percings leather the whole 9 yards. He was laughing and telling stories about Bronson when he was little. His sister is pretty and plain looking with two kids. Meeting his family and seeing pictures of him as a child gave me a look at a side of Bronson I have never seen. I would have never seen it if it wasn’t for this funeral. It was so hard looking at his mom. I just wanted to hug her and cry.
After walking out of the wake, I felt like I couldn’t cry one more drop. Then I got to the funeral home. We went in one of those precession things? Ricky Lutz and bronsons dad helped carry bronsons casket and I started crying uncontrollably again. The service was a very sad sad thing with lots more crying. I have never felt this way in my entire life. People got up there and said things about him and told stories about there memories.
Its not only us that thinks Bronson is fat and dirty. His sisters husband told a story where they went camping and he only brought one pair of underwear. Every picture of him he was eating. But that’s the Bronson we all love. Even after he lost all that weight we still called him a fatty. But in reality he was the most good looking guy I have ever seen. I had such a crush on him when I first met him.
We sang amazing grace and I can only imagine and the green day song that makes everyone cry. Seeing Ricky, Lutz, Kevin and Travis cry was the worst part. Those poor boys.
However, there was a part of the funeral I will never forget. A guy named Troy came in to the funeral late. I have never met him before but apparently everyone knew him. He asked to show a DVD of Bronson. Bronsons mom asked If it was clean? Troy said “it’s the Bronson we all know and love” WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN INDICATION.
He starts the video and its Bronson in petsmart eating dog food. Everyone is laughing histerically. Then it goes to Bronson skateboarding, and then it cuts to him saying “were at this haggard ass fucking rope swing” and the pastor interrupted and turned it off. He said he didn’t want that language in the house of god. Then the troy kid started throwing a fit and yelling and they got into a fight and a huge scene went down. It was crazy. Bronsons mom just cried harder. Like are you serious. What idiot puts cursing clips of videos to be played at someones funeral? You don’t play that in a church. It was a huge big thing. Only at Bronson McCabes funeral that would go down.
It was the most depressing day of my life. I have been crying for 12 hours straight. But now I feel a little more at peace. I love you Bronson.
