Bee looked sullen as she was called up to read her speech. It wasn’t easy being at this funeral. She had to be brave though, for her friends, family and most importantly, for Bert. The reverent nodded in her direction when it was time for her to begin speaking. She took a deep breath. Here goes, she thought.
“Bert, from the minute I laid eyes on you, I fell in love with you. It wasn’t just your handsome appearance, but as I got to know you, I fell in love with your personality too. You were fast, easy to like, and you did everything for me. Every time I needed to do a math problem in my head, I would ask you. You knew so much, and I could ask you anything, and just like that, you would tell me the answer. I boasted to friends about you, I took pictures with you, and I told you stories. You would help me organize my life too. You knew when my appointments were, where I was going, and you always reminded me what I had to do! You shopped for me when my feet were sore after work, and I didn’t feel like going out to the mall. You gave me recipes I thought I would never even try. You made me technology advanced and you gave me the power to do anything I wanted. I loved you more then anything. But when they said there was nothing more I could do, I didn’t know what I would do without you. I would never love anyone else as much as I loved you. I hope you know that Bert .You were a friend, a first love, and a kind helper. You gave me memories I thought I would have, feelings I would never experience. But most of all, Bert, you were the best computer I’ve ever had!”
