That sad day

The taste of dryness,
and the stomach turning feeling
is what I felt that day.
Coming home to a house
with a cloud of gloomy feelings
and sad stares.
I walk in on to be told
to sit down for the news.
They say,
Don't worry
Don't cry
Don't fear.
Only to be told
the person you look up to,
is as sick as she can get.
It's cancer they say.
Every feeling and emotion
flooded my soul.
Two years of fighting;
life started to look up.
