They said IT.
The worst thing.
You have IT.
IT will kill you.
IT has made you very sick.
IT is making you die.
IT is putting you through pain.
You can't beat IT.
You were too late.
IT killed you.
I wasn't even there to see you
when IT killed you.
You were gone and I didn't even know.
You died from lung cancer
and I didn't know until
you were gone.

My grandma died from cancer. She was the best grandma ever. She supported my family's love of video games and even got us all the best cheat codes. She was the best ever and still is. I still miss her. She's still here with me though.
