11 Years Ago

Something happened eleven years ago that was sad. After he battled Leukemia for many months, I lost Dad. I thought he'd live longer but he died at the age of sixty-five. He took chemotherapy for over 18 months but he could no longer survive. When he died, I had to say goodbye. I lost him in 2013 on the 13th of July. Dad couldn't beat Leukemia even though he tried. It was terrible because 11 years ago today, he died. [Dedicated to Charles F. Johnson (1947-2013) who died 11 years ago on July 13, 2013]
