He kept coming home then going back into the hospices and hospital but i had my dad back for christmas, i was so happy!

Last year in July my dad was told he had Cancer, i thought everything was going to be ok. In August he went to the hospital in London, me and my mum stayed with my mums best friend for 8 weeks because my dad had 3 operations that month and non of them worked. He had a rare type of cancer in his belly and it had wrapped itself around his bladder ect. That night my mum had rang the hosptial to see what had happend because my dad had been in surgery for 6 hours. My mum went up to the hospital and when she came back she told me the news. I didnt cry for a few seconds because i thought i was going to be sick. Beginning of september my dad came home, i was so happy! Then he went into a hospice but he came out for my birthday on the 27th of September. He kept coming home then going back into the hospices and hospital but i had my dad back for christmas, i was so happy! And i thought everyone had just made a big mistake because on the 27th of dec my dad was his old happy self but he still wanted my mum to stay downstairs like she had been doing and that night i had said to my dad night love you see you in the morning but i didn't give him a kiss because he was in the toilet ! Then on the 28th of dec i heard my mum screaming my name at 6.30 in the morning. I ran downstairs to find my mum holding my dad in her arms sitting on the bed. My mum told me to open the door because the ambulance was on it's way. I got really confused, i asked my mum if my dad was ok and she said she didnt know but i stayed calm because i thought it was going to be all ok. But then i heard my mum saying my dads name and he wasnt saying anything i got really scared. The ambulance came, i went upstairs and i heard them talking to my dad so i thought he was ok. Then my mum came upstairs crying. I asked her what was wrong, she told me to sit on my bed so i did. Then she told me that dad had died. I looked at the fish in my room, then i cried my eyes out. I didnt believe it coz i had heard the ambulance people talking to him. She said they where just doing it out of respect. Then on the 10th of january it was the finale day to say bye to my dad, it was his funeral. I did go and see my dad and i was a little freaked out and all i keep saying to myself was wake up daddy please i need you, but he wouldn't. Then we left him but when the hearse came down later that day my cousin held onto me because i was trying to run away. Even though it has been a few weeks now i am coping ok but i still break down crying. But i always know my dad is in my heart and is now looking over me in no pain.
