Brandi hated doing this. It was finally time to make the dreaded call that she was hoping to never make. It was finally time to bid farewell to her ailing mother-in-law Maria-Celeste. She didnt think that it would happen so fast. It seemed like it was yesterday that her father-in-law had passed away and here she is now calling all her in-laws. Her mother-in-law had been such an inspiration to her that it pained to see her die. She called her husband, Oscar SimonII who rushed to be at his mother's side.
Everyone was present for her last few hours. Maria-Celeste herself was happy only because she would be reunited with her deceased husband Oscar. At first she dreaded leaving her family without a matriarch and now she knew her family was strong. Aside from all the tears Maria-Celeste faced the grim reaper and was blessed with having to live a plantinum status life. She bid her farewell and her family was left to mourn.
Everyone did inherit from Maria-Celeste's death. Unlike when their father/father-in-law died she managed to spend more time with her family. Brandi had know her mother-in-law since she was a young girl who married her first son who happened to be the legacy heir. No one wanted to break the silence. there was nothing but tears and people hugging each other wishing to make the pain go away.
Justin had stepped into their kitchen to let his anger and hurt spill out of him. He never had a chance to explain to his mom why he dropped out of college. It hurt him to think that his mother thought of him as a drop out. Sure his mother never actually said that but just knowing he never had the chance to clear the air made Justin reach rock bottom. Oscar Simon had to come and help him off the floor. He knew the pain his baby brother was feeling and tried to console him the best he could.

After the funeral the house seemed gloomy with out Maria-Celeste being around. Melody sofia missed her grandmother dearly. She still recalled her grandmother's stories about dating and getting through high school. Brandi knew that her family was having a hard time trying to move on and it was understandable. It was not until one day that Melody suggested that the family take a vacation to get their mind off of things. Brandi agreed and they decided to approach Oscar Simon with the idea.
Brandi came in to their bedroom and saw her husband relaxing on the bed.
"Is everything OK Simon?"
"Ya, come here. I want you next to me. How was your day today?"
"It was good and yours?"
"It was also good. You know Brandi. I actually missed you and the kids. I wanted to rush home and just be with you, melody and Joshua. I love you. You know that right?"
" I do know that. And I hope that you know that I love you. "
"did you come up to get something or ask me something?" asked Simon.
Brandi did not ask about the vacation Melody suggested. She decided to wait a little longer. She felt as though her husband just needed a break to be at home with his family and enjoy each other's company.
