11 Years Ago

11 Years Ago

A Poem by Randy Johnson
"

Dedicated to Charles F. Johnson (1947-2013) who died 11 years ago on July 13, 2013.

"
Something happened eleven years ago that was sad.
After he battled Leukemia for many months, I lost Dad.
I thought he'd live longer but he died at the age of sixty-five.
He took chemotherapy for over 18 months but he could no longer survive.
When he died, I had to say goodbye.
I lost him in 2013 on the 13th of July.
Dad couldn't beat Leukemia even though he tried.
It was terrible because 11 years ago today, he died.
