Dad's 76th Birthday

DEDICATED TO CHARLES F. JOHNSON (1947-2013) WHO DIED ON JULY 13, 1947.

You were a country boy who was raised in the sticks.
If you hadn't died, today you would have turned 76.
Your cancer took a turn for the worse and I had to say goodbye.
Your life came to an end in 2013 on the thirteenth of July.
You were born on October the 18th of 1947.
You died ten years ago and went to Heaven.
You were a good provider and that's something I'll always appreciate.
You suffered because of Leukemia and that is something that I hate.
I lost you shortly after losing Mom and it was sad.
If you were still alive, I'd say "Happy Birthday, Dad".
