The End of a Nuclear Family

Dad had the cancer and died in the spring
Mom had a bummer and died early that summer
By time it was fall sister hung from a tree
Now why’s everybody, looking a me?

Hi Anthony. Pretty sad poem that seems to be answered in the first three lines. Says a lot in four short lines. Have a great day.... Robert.
