How Cancer Took Over

I was 13 years old when I found out that my dad was sick. Every day it was constantly going to doctor's appointments, getting him what he needed, etc. At first, I didn't think it would be so bad because he was so strong and told my sister and I that he was going to be okay. As months went by, he started to get worse. He went to the hospital more and was in home hospice for a good week and a half. There was never a time I couldn't stop crying in my room. I don't know what it was, I guess I was afraid to see him so sick. He died on February 17, 2014, from Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.
