On the day of the funeral, John was dressed up in black, as dark as his mood in the last days. Roselyn and the kids walked beside him, the relatives who were invited turned around to look at John for some instants, probably wondering if they had to say they were sorry for their loss or not.
Some of them limited themselves to offer a shy smile to him which he inevitably didn't return, while some others walked to him and said as sorry they were, then they recommended him to ask him if he needed anything.
The typic things people say when they wanted to be kind enough and well mannered but in the end, they would never respect their words, that's the reason why John only forced a smile and didn't answer to them.
He didn't owe a thing to people who always judged and criticized him for their entire life and now only because he was grieving they would pretend they were good people and their mistakes would be canceled.
