Cancer

You took him away... My light my stars. I needed him he was my father. You made him 
hurt and you made him bleed. Blood, sweat and tears you cause everyone in this family. 
Why I ask? Why him... I understand that he didn't take regular check ups and that he was 
a fair target but you took my daddy away. You took the man who would have walked me down 
the ale on wedding day away. Now I have no respect, no remorse. I have no respect for 
speakers who try to cover up the truth about how deadly you are. I know their's ways to 
beat it if you catch it in time and I know chemotherapy works but that it has horrible 
side affects. It makes life not worth living, you ruin everything but life happens. 
Cancer, Funny it was my father's Astrology sign and he got sacked by the same thing that 
he used to treasure on his birthday. As long as I live I can never look at a patient who 
is sick the same, I have warmth and compassion and because I know how my father suffered. 
Cancer it's been a long journey, you took my father away from the pain... I hope he's 
watching down on me. I hope he's happy in heaven.
