Death is Always Right Around the Corner.A Story by KqrizA man who got diagnosed with Cancer, will he tell his family, will he make it out alive?
I was recently diagnosed with cancer. I haven't told my wife or daughters since I know they'd ball their eyes out, I can't handle the pain in my daughters and wife's eyes if I told them. I thought of them so much it drove me crazy. I was in the hospital, getting diagnosed with cancer after my recent incident, coughing up blood clots and then blacking out, I wished that wasn't the early sign of cancer. The first time I was in the hospital was when I was baby, getting my shots. I cried back then, but now. the pain makes me feel nothing since I've been through so much worse. The second time I was in the hospital when I was 10, I got the chicken pocks and I was itching the red spots so much I bled, the doctors helped me but I kept scratching and scratching after. Soon, I was in the hospital again, dying from blood loss. My parents sobbed, my siblings were scared. I was scared, I didn't want to die at a young age, I was only 10.. I had so much to live for at least there was blood donor who had the same blood type as me. I'm so grateful for that. I got to live more years of my life but here I am at 34, getting diagnosed with cancer.. I never thought I'd leave this early. One thing I remember the doctor said is "No matter what you do in life, or how you do it, you will always die alone." I thought about it. He was right. We die one after another. No matter how long you prevent death, it will always happen until we are all erased from Earth. I got home. I saw my wife sitting on the couch with our 2 daughters watching their favorite show. I silently cried, knowing I might never feel or see their perfect smiles, their hugs, my wife kisses again. I think of how'd they react, I couldn't bare to see them in such a happy state and then ruining it with telling them. I walk into the room and then sob. "Honey? what's wrong?" My wife asked me. I sobbed out "I..- I.. have cancer.." "What- Tell me you're joking.." Her expression, it kills me. the hurt, the sadness. "I'm- Serious love.." She started to sob and she ran up and hugged me. So did my daughters. "It'll be okay.. it'll be okay.. I love you guys.. I love you guys so much.." I whimpered softly. "We love you too.." My daughter, Kaylee, said. My mind was racing, I'll never see my daughters grow up.. I'll never be the grandfather i wanted to be for my future grandchildren. I'll never meet my daughter's lovers. 2 months later, i was on my death bed, surrounded by the ones i loved dearest. "I love you guys.. tell Kaylee and Zara I will always love them.. and you, my dear wife.. I loved our memories together, all the good times.. all the bad times.. all the sad times.. I will cherish those forever my love.." Those were my last words before I died.. I will never forget their faces twisting into horror as i died.
