My Dad

I said the same thing twice. As if that will help me remember. I said the same thing three times. As if that will help you remember. My dad is on his way. He’s never been in a hospital before. My dad is on his way. I will try to smile for him. So he remembers me fondly. He says he’s proud of me. As if this is a celebration of my life. But I am still alive. I am only 22.
