Four Years

It was four years ago tonight when Dad died.

He couldn't beat cancer even though he tried.

Dad died four years ago tonight at the age of sixty-five.

He received chemo and transfusions but he didn't survive.

After battling leukemia for twenty months, his battle came to an end.

When I lost my dad, I lost my next of kin.

Four years ago, I lost both of my parents and that was very sad.

It was four years ago tonight when we had to say goodbye to Dad.
