A hard goodbye...
I remember the day...
It was about 6 AM in the morning... I hear the phone ring and Mommy sits up to take the call, she cries into the phone. I shake, I knew what was happening. I held back my tears, trying to remain strong to comfort her... We soon load up the car and drive off... To the hospital.
I wait through the long ride. And after what felt like hours, we were finally there. We all open the doors of the car and quickly rush into the hospital and join the rest of the family in a tight room. Soon enough, we got to be in the same room as him. I listened to his breaths, short and quiet. I’m holding back the tears as I look at Bailey. Soon the tears break free... And I cry on Bailey’s lap. Soon we left the room...
After a little while, Mommy and Daddy walked over to me. I could tell there was news, and it wasn’t good. “Poppy’s gonna die... do you want to say goodbye?” She says, tears welling up in her eyes. I shook my head. I was too scared to say goodbye... I hold back the tears again... Only to have them break free as I hug Mommy. My tears escape onto her shoulders...
A little while after, everyone was nervous. Waiting inside the small room of the hospital... Soon Mommy got a migraine and we had to go home...
We went back after a hour or so... And on the way we got a phonecall. I couldn’t make out what the person was saying... But after hearing Mommy cry, “Goodbye Daddy. Goodbye.”
All the lights outside blurred. I couldn’t cry. The moment was too shocking. I wished I could go back in time and say goodbye. I silently cried. Everything is a blur, I am stuck in thoughts.
