They walked out the doors
He held his sons' hand tight
The boy finally spoke up
"Will Mommy be home tonight?"
He wasn't sure what to say
To his one and only son
He had to fight back the tears
And let the story come undone
"Mommy got really sick,
There was nothing they could do
But now she's up in heaven
Watching down on you"
There was a tremble in his voice
His son said nothing more
He knew his life had changed completely
And his heart had just been tore.
He began thinking
Of five years in the past
He married his high school sweetheart
Though his parents said it wouldn't last
Now he is just 22,
Single with a son,
His wife battled cancer,
And his battle's just begun.
