The Day I Found out

The day I found out

The day I found out he had Leukemia
I cried and cried,
I felt numb inside and out
The news was something unexpected
Sitting at the table on Mothers Day
The phone rings, the news is out.
I found out,
My reaction was ‘no, this can’t be true’.
I was wrong.

I sat in my rooms for hours
Reminiscing on our time together
I felt hopeless as I thought of these
Later that day I went and saw him
As soon a as I saw him I just cried
He gave me a hug and said
‘Its going to be alright, I’ll be ok’
‘Is he?’ I thought to myself

Time is going by ever so slowly now,
Like it’s all in slow motion
Long days, sleepless nights
I try to see him as much as I can
I cry every time I see him, I can’t help it
He tells me the same thing every time,
That it’s alright and he’ll be ok
I’m starting to believe it

I never thought something like,
This would happen to me.
I’m glad it has,
I’ve grown as a person and it’s changed my life.
I love him and now know,
That he will fight it
And he’ll be ok

Tomorrow he starts chemotherapy
He is nervous and scared,
He knows I’m here for him
For what ever reason.
I know this will be the hardest time for him,
And that he needs his friends and family the most.

I’ll never forget that day.
The day I found out he had Leukemia
