Deceased For a Decade

He was my dad but his life came to an end. He died and I would never see him again. He perished after months of receiving chemotherapy. He had Leukemia and is buried in Sneedville, Tennessee. He was a hard worker and he worked hard for many years. Cancer made him become ill and he died just like I feared. He died ten years ago today on the 13th of July. It is always sad and tragic when a parent dies. [Dedicated to Charles F. Johnson (1947-2013) who died ten years ago today on July 13, 2013]
