She had one last look at that lifeless face, still bearing the laugh lines, before they lowered the coffin into the mud.

He had been suffering for two years from lung cancer,and soon it spread to other vital organs, leaving the 50 year old senior executive with very little time left. The last week passed in a blur of hospital beds, bills, loans of all kinds, and lots of sleepless nights.

"In memory of Adam Isaac Newster. Born: 18-10-1965 Died: 7-08-2015" read the cold marble grave stone telling those who wouldn't care less about her beloved father's death.
