Leukemia Cancer (Dad)


It all started with just one cough, but then another cough came in

Days went by and nothing went on

No one did anything, but then my mom stepped up

We rushed to the hospital and didn't say a thing

Doctor came to us few days later 

My dad is diagnosed with Leukemia cancer.

June 20, 2011

 

Days, months, years pass now it's November 1, 2013

Four different treatments have been killing his body

Yet he's still staying strong

If the last one doesn't work that is all the doctors can do.

I'm ready for anything 

"My dad's battle is my battle."
