Wake up girls, it's your birthday
But, I'm afraid I don't have good news today
You see, we need to rush to the hospital
Your father's cancer is out of control.
So we jumped into the car
And rolled out on the streets
We approached the hospital
Praying as we clung the car seat.
We rushed to his bed and hugged him real tight
But he wasn't responding, it must have been a hard night
His colon cancer spread to his lungs,
And we knew right then and there he was done.
Chemotherapy never worked,
Radiation must have sucked
Or else my daddy would have been fine
But in that moment, we were all cryin'.
We kissed him good-bye with tears in our eyes,
Knowing it was the last time we'd ever abide.
We all walked out the door
But soon enough we got a call.
It was the doctors, they told us he was done.
My father had died, my heart fried.
My hope shuddered, our lives torn,
And from that day on, all we do is mourn.
Wake up girls, it's your birthday
But, I'm afraid I don't have good news today
You see, we need to rush to the hospital
Your father's cancer is out of control.
Rest in Peace

this did not happen to me but my best friends' dad was in the hospital from christmas eve and he died on their birthday (january 3rd 2009) they are twins. i was sleeping over their house and we all rushed to the hospital and their dad died. it was hopeless for me to see him just standing there, and seeing there family crying. it was terrible.

This made me tear up. My best friend just lost her mother, so I know what its like to just stand back and feel so hopeless about the situation.
Very nicely conveyed here.
