I've dealt with so much pain in my life
When I was 7 my father lost his wife
The love of his life was gone forever
I just know he really missed her
Her passing left him without a wife and us without a mother
Those first couple of years were really tough without her
Losing her affected each of us differently
I was affected emotionally and socially
Even with my 7 other siblings I still felt alone.
Fast forward to the future of 18 years
My Dad gets diagnosed with cancer and it's the start of my fears
I wish I had known what cancer does
I could've done something to prevent the tragic future.
Fast forward to January 1st 2018 8pm
My father no longer had to live in this horrible world and he was reunited with his wife and daughter who left before him.

I wanted to give a brief backstory to fill you all in on how I lost both my parents to health related problems. My mother had breathing problems and needed multiple tanks of oxygen delivered to the house. She passed on 9/11/1998 at age 37. And my father didn't even get to reach age 60. Come April 21st is both of their birthdays. My mother was born in '61 and my father '58. I'll never get over the death of my parents. I'm hoping poems like these will get me through them at the very least.
