heaven just got a new angel

Ten weeks ago you were just fine.
Ten weeks ago we didn't know.
Nine weeks ago you felt sick
Nine weeks ago we all found out
Eight weeks ago you still looked healthy
Eight weeks ago we carried on
Seven weeks ago you were afraid of surgery
Seven weeks ago we still had hope
Six weeks ago you got meds to kill the cancer
Six weeks ago we believed in the future
Five weeks ago you lost your hair
Five weeks ago we still believed the doctors
Four weeks ago you still were smiling
Four weeks ago you still were at home
Three weeks ago you got a fever
Three weeks ago you still were walking
Two weeks ago you said goodbye
Two weeks ago you still could eat
A week ago the doctor gave HOPE!
A week ago we saw the future again!
Now you're gone
And we are still here

Heaven just got a new angel
but we still have the memories.
Love you!! 1933-2009
