My Daddy Who Had Cancer

One night my Daddy came home from the hospital.  He was so tired he couldn't get up.  I went to go sleep over at my friend's house.  It was December.  I called my mom because I wanted to go home, but she took me to my Nana's house instead.  I asked, "What is going on?" My mom said that Daddy had to go back to the hospital.  I was devastated.  It was snowing.  My Daddy had to stay in the hospital until April.  The doctor said he could come home for Easter.  But Daddy had to go back to the hospital.  We went to go visit him the next day.  The Easter Bunny brought us gifts at the hospital!  I got a new bathing suit and a stuffed animal duck, and some new pony tail holders, plus two headbands.  It was April 4, 2010 and three days later my daddy died.  I was so sad.  I didn't go back to school for half a week.  The school counselor came to our house on the Tuesday after his funeral and gave me some letters from my classmates.  When I went back everyone asked me why I was gone.  I said, "My Daddy died."  They were really sorry.  That's a memory of my Daddy.

Braums Night

Every once in awhile, my dad would come through the family room and say, "Load up! It's Braum's night!"  Jack and I would run to the car and hop in.  He never left without us, but he said he would if we didn't hurry.  We'd go to Braums and get some ice cream and eat it on the way home.  My mom sill tries to do that at the end of the month (that's when she gets paid).  I imagine my daddy is there with us.

this is it

My first post!  woohoo!
