It was a really nice day in central Pennsylvania around October on a Thursday in the fall at my small old Jr. High school that has been around since the 1920s. I was going through my day like any other day and around lunch time I was in my least favorite class at the time science. I really dreaded science throughout grade school and high school.
But about fifteen minutes into the class I hear on the loudspeaker “Ms. albert will you please tell Lewis he is to be dismissed”. I was really surprised but also kind of happy because I was getting to leave the lab early but I didn’t know why I was getting out of school. So I went and got all of my things in my locker and headed towards the office to wait for my dad to pick me up and I look up at the …show more content…
Then we called out to the nurse to tell them the good news and they were pretty surprised as well. After about a five minutes after telling the nurse that my mom was moving and raised her hand the doctor came to her room looking very surprised and told us that she needs to have some of her skull removed to relieve pressure on her brain. It was really good news because I later found out that the doctors told my step dad and grandma that there wasn’t much chance for her to wake up and there was little much they could do because she had little brain activity. After the doctor left we said our good byes and kissed our mom goodbye since visiting time was over at the ICU. My mom was to have surgery later that night but we decide to go back home to get to school for the next day for my football game. I remember being really scared that, that was the last time I would see my mom that day after leaving. If it was my choice, I would have stayed the whole time but that was my dad’s decision but everyone agreed we should go back to school the next day. It was the slowest car ride back home because everyone was so emotionally drained and made it the longest two hours in the car in my life. Trying to sleep that night was next to impossible because I knew that my mom was in surgery and the worst thoughts came to my head. The next day in the morning I found out that the surgery went good but was still in critical condition it was good news and I felt a little bit relieved. Going to school and felt like everything was different for some reason but it really wasn’t. I didn’t tell anyone what had happen to me because I really couldn’t come up to words to what just happen to my mother. I really didn’t know how I was going to play football later in the day because I would always rely on my emotions to play football and knew I couldn’t get like that
