Why is this happening


HE WAS FINE, HE WAS JUST FINE!!

NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH HIM!!!!

Why is this happening, He seemed fine?

Life isn’t fair, but when is it ever?

 

The man that I grew up with

The only man that I knew as a father

Is dying right in front of my eyes and I can’t do anything about it

What am I supposed to do without my father?

At that moment I tried to think of my life without him, but I couldn’t

I JUST COULDN’T

 

In a matter of seconds my life just changed

Going from having two healthy parents to one life support

How does that work?

I thought that if you have enough faith nothing bad will happen to you, but I guess that’s not how it works

 

Why is this happening, I’m only a kid

ONLY A 10-YEAR-OLD KID, THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!?!?!?

I’m too young for this

How am I supposed to get though life without him?

Who is supposed to teach me important life lessons now?
