6 Months
The last 6 months have been hell
I went from worrying about my first year of college
To worrying about my dads health
6 months has changed my life
Knowing the doctors can’t do anything else hurts
Knowing I’m so far away right now makes me sick
I just want to see him before he’s gone
I really don’t want to think about that
I’ve cried the majority of the past 24 hours
I don’t know how anyone takes this news
How do I cope with the idea
That my dad won’t live to see me turn 20
Or graduate college
Or get married
It hurts

Dear M,
I’m so very sorry you’re dealing with such a heavy burden. If there were words to remotely help you I would absolutely use them right now. I feel as though only a hug, and in this case a cyber hug must do, would be of any consolation. I hope you will acknowledge the inner strength reserved for these situations. I know you have it. Your poetry supports that intelligence. Many hugs and positive vibes your way. H🌷

Sorry to hear that. Would the college not allow compassionate time off (hope any eventual end will not clash with exams).

Sorry to hear that. But you are his legacy. Treasure the memories of him because once he's gone it hurts. He would want to live your life. Keep on writing.
