Importance Of Always End On A Good Note

Always end on a good note. What I mean by this is always make the best of every moment you have with someone because that could very well be the last time you see them. Most people including myself don’t realize that tragic things can happen at any moment, at any time of day, and they can happen when you’re least expecting it. Ever since my family’s scary situation, I’ve learned to always say “see ya” and to say, “I love you”.
Last winter, my family faced a horrible near death experience that no families should ever go through.

All we wanted were answers. I had a lot of hope in the surgeon crew who was trying their absolute best to save my dad. I had this hope because I have had 2 surgeries in my life and both of the surgeon crew’s who helped me, did a great job. I expected the same from the surgeons working on my dad. As we were waiting quietly, the surgeon came around the corner with a straight face. My mind was lost, I didn’t know what to think. We all gathered around him and were listening carefully for the news. “Tom had a severe heart attack, a complete blockage, in which most people don’t survive.

I didn’t play in my game because I was not focused at all after everything that had just happened, so I just watched and cheered on my team. Even after the fact that I knew my dad was okay, I still cried, at the soccer game and at home. If my father hadn’t survived his heart attack, I don’t know what my life would be like. I know for a fact I would have been in a dark place for quite some time. I would have pushed my friends and family away. My life would have taken a turn for the worse. Luckily, my dad was a fighter and is still living in this world
