Author's Note;
This story is just a cute little filler piece. I also realize that the Sweater Guy by the end is not following trend as to all my other stories, and I apologize.

Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy!!

The wind blew through the leaves in the trees, as a beautiful red cardinal landed on the window ledge in front of me, starting to sing its song.

I let out a sigh, as I turned around and went back into the room I was in.

Surely a cardinal meant a sign from someone that had passed. And the only person I would have wanted here the most, today of all days, was my father.

Well he wasn't really my father, but my uncle.

He had been a father figure in my life for a long time, and when he passed away in a matter of months from being diagnosed with cancer, it hit me pretty hard.

I withdrew into myself and closed myself off from everything that once made me happy, including the things I once shared with my uncle.

I started pacing across the room, my hand on my stomach, trying to settle the nerves that were starting to work bile up my throat.

Just as I started pacing back and forth for the millionth time, there was a knock on the door and my friend Audrey popped her head in, taking note of the room, before walking completely in.

"It's a packed house, out there!" she said, walking over to me.

All I could do was look up at her and bite my bottom lip to keep it from quivering.

"Hey!Hey!" she said, pulling me in close for a hug.

"It's ok! It will be ok! Everything is going to be ok Y/N! Nothing is going to go wrong!" She reassured me.

"I wish dad was here. He always knew what to say!" I whispered, letting Audrey clue in as to why I was upset.

"I know you do honey, but you know he's going to be here with you today in spirit." she said, wiping a stray tear that fell down my cheek.

I simply nodded with a sniffle.

"Common, let's finish getting you ready!" she said, turning me around to sit in front of the vanity.

"You know, you're going to blow everyone away, right?" she said as she put the finishing touches to my flaming red hair.

The braid she put it in was loose, so whisps fell out to frame my face, and was tied off almost a good three inches from the end so that the loose hair curled on its own.

Just as she was finishing up the final stages of my make up, another knock came on the door, as it opened and in walked in my cousin Jennifer and her husband Steve.

"How's it going in here?" my cousin asked, walking over to me.

"She had a moment, but she's good now, right, Y/N?" Audrey asked me, eyes hopeful.

"Yes, yes, I'm good." I replied, looking at everyone as their reflections were visible in the mirror.

"Ok, we're going to make sure that everything is ready. I'll be back in a bit!" Jennifer said, as her and Steve turned to walk back out of the room.

"I'm going to go double check some things as well. Are you sure that you're going to be ok?" she asked me, as her hand grabbed the door knob.

All I could do was simply nod.

With that, Audrey left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts again.

Only this time, I didn't think of my uncle.
