I looked to my father as he was nearing death. His left arm missing along with both his legs gone bore into my mind. As tears filled my eyes, my father laid a bloody hand on my cheek. smiling he told me I will be alright and to take care of my mother.I held hid hand till he left out his final breath.

the next three pages were blank....

Mother sold every thing of my father's to pay for rent on our home... the only thing i have left of him is just a memory.....
