Death Anniversary

Summary
It’s Trevor’s passing away anniversary and Bonnie is still devastated about it, but can her elderly Aunt Bertha and her close friend, Isabella help her deal with it?

Chapter 1: What happened 1 Saturday afternoon
It was a peaceful weekend at the Anderson’s house ‘til Bonnie looked devastatingly at the photograph of her pet parakeet, Trevor on the coffee table.

Bonnie’s elderly Aunt Bertha entered and was surprised to see how devastated her little niece was.

Isabella was visiting too.

“Bonnie, why don’t you go outside and play in the sandbox? or you could do something else? it’s Saturday after all.” Bertha said as Bonnie decided to break the silence.

“No thanks, Aunt Bertha, I’m not exactly in the mood right now.” Bonnie said devastatingly.

“Oh alright, are you sure you’ll be alright?” Isabella asked.

“I’ll be alright, Isabella.” Bonnie said devastatingly as Isabella’s eyes caught a glimpse of the ‘Cars 2’ calendar hanging on the wall and she took 1 single look at today’s date and then it really affected her.

It had been 3 years ever since Bonnie’s pet parakeet, Trevor had passed away from a short parakeet brain tumor.

Bertha and Isabella knew how hard she was feeling over Trevor’s tragic passing away, but she thought they got over this painful situation already and she went back to join her and they sat down together forever on the futon.

“Bonnie, I know exactly why you’re feeling very devastated and I know exactly what today is, do any of you wanna speak about it?” Isabella asked.

“It’s nothing much, Isabella, I’m just having my minute of silence, I’m sure Trevor would’ve appreciated that day.” Bonnie said devastatingly.

“Are you alright, Bonnie?” Bertha asked as she noticed that Bonnie’s eyes were welling up with tear drops.

“I...I still miss him, Aunt Bertha, but didn’t you, Mommy and Daddy say that passing away is part of the great circulation of life?” Bonnie asked tearfully as Bertha pulled her into a cuddle.

“That’s right, Bonnie, I’m glad you’re able to deal with it.” Bertha said as Bonnie remained silent and in a devastated mode and this was very unusual given the fact that Bonnie was the most imaginative of all of the other children at Jim Varney Memorial Elementary School in Mrs. Jacobson’s 1st grade class.

“Bonnie, is there something bothering you?” Bertha asked.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black">“Huh, what? oh, I’m alright, Aunt Bertha, I’m Just feeling a little bit devastated, that’s all.” Bonnie said as Bertha and Isabella got into a cuddle and consoled them that everything was gonna be alright and Bonnie got up and headed for the stair steps.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black">“Bonnie, where are you going?” Bertha asked.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black">“To my bedroom, I gotta finish working on Trevor’s memorial scrap book.” Bonnie said devastatingly

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black">“You’re not exactly the scrap book type, are you, Bonnie?” Isabella asked.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black">"It’ll take my mind off everything.” Bonnie said as she went into her bedroom and closed her bedroom door.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin">“There now, it’s alright, Bonnie.” Bertha said as Bonnie regained her composure and looked at her.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin">“Thanks, Aunt Bertha, I needed that.” Bonnie said as she turned around to face Isabella.
