I will never forget the day my dad told me he was going away. He told me don’t worry, I’ll be back in two days. My dad was going to have brain surgery to remove a tumor on the optic nerve. I remember those two days past very slowly, and my dad never came home. I remember asking my mom, “where’s daddy at?” then saying “mom I hate it when you look at me like that”. It was something in her eyes that told me dad wasn’t coming home for a long time, little did me his son know his dad almost died. After 2 weeks he came out of his deep acoma. I was aloud to visit him now. All I wanted was my dad back. I sit and reminis and remember me walking to the intensive care ward where my dad laid like a lifeless vegetable. All the nurses looked at me like they were going to cry. I walked into his room, my dad didn’t look like my dad at all he laid lifeless on his special bed with all types of tubes sticking out of his pale skinny body. I said hi he faintly said “Who are you?” I replied you son with a tear streaming down my face. I tried to hold back my powerful feelings. I felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest and thrown on the floor. Who had the right to take the life from my dads body who had the right to take his family away from him I couldn’t understand. I felt as if though he was still my dad but his soul was gone and I wondered if it would ever come back and if it would be the same. ------------------ "Live to love or why live at all" Deano :) |

Very moving story, Dean. I'm touched by this, you have my sympathies. A smile for hope  "Human pride sings a vengeful song, inspired by the times you've been walked on" - Creed - "What If" |
