Description

Little Lady: 
"One by one their seats were emptied 
And one by one they went away
Now the family is parted 
Will it be complete one day?

Will the Circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by
Is a better home awaiting 
In the Sky in the Sky?"

Little Lady was able to say goodbye to her old man but her years of resentment towards him and the rest of her family crashed down on her. 
Her mother Applejack didn't even hide her tears like she used to when Little Lady was a child. Her friend Rainbow Dash held her tightly as the orange mare's back heaved. If Little Lady was seeing things correctly, the older matriarch had lost her lustrous blonde mane and pure sunny coat. In return, every inch of her mane was a dusty white and grey hue while her coat contained little flecks or light orange and grey.
What made it worse was having the strongest mare she'd ever known keel over and cry at her hooves upon her arrival. Nothing she said was coherent prompting Rainbow Dash and Spike to lead her off to a quieter room.

Little Lady's head spun.  She trudged into the main living room and was solemnly hugged by Miss Fluttershy and greeted by quietly by Pinkie Pie. She saw her young brother holding her little sister out of the corner of her eye, but almost didn't recognize them. Bramley's hair was no longer a long unruly mess of brown split ends. His mane was well kept and quaffed to look presentable in front of an audience and dyed a neon green. Little Carnival limbs had large swathes of muscle rippling under her pelt. Not an ounce of baby fat was left on her frame.
Though she'd seen her poor father many times over this last few months, she always missed those two when she came into town. They were like completely different ponies.

While her resentment towards her slightly younger sister Sweet Bailey was still ever present, the Vermillion coated mare had become more beautiful from the last time she saw her. She was thin and confident and didn't wear a shred of makeup. Lady had half expected to be greeted by the high pitch and sickeningly friendly filly from her childhood memories, but it seemed as though years of radio silence on her end had bred a mutual distaste. Bailey greeted her with a curt "Lady, good to see your train arrived safely. You'll be sleeping in the barn guest room with cousin Sunflower, Diamond Jubilee and Earth Heart from the Appleloosan clan" She then nodded quickly and trotting away to speak with Iolite the funeral director. Since then, it seemed like the once relentlessly goodie-two-shoes mare had abandoned even acknowledging her. 
All this change, her younger sibling who were now young adults, this lack of jovial childish banter between two sister, her mother in shambles and the day of reckoning for her father caused her body to sag and her energy to waver. 

For the first time in her life Little Lady felt old
