in the elevator i could not wait i was such in a rush that i pressed the button 12 times in a row hopping it would go faster, when the door opened i used a pass to open the doors and ran toward the end of the hall where my dad was. my brother, aunt, and some of my dad's friends were there crying softly. There my dad was hooked up to life support and dialysis his eyes were lazy one to the left one to the right. I went right to my dad and told him that he is going to make it and see my 13 birthday, i was told the odds were 50/50. When i left i was so depressed that i went to bed crying and and nightmares. Seven days i did not see my dad, but the day that i was going to see him was the worst day of my life. During class my dad came to pick me up i was really confused because i did not have any reason at the time to go home early, the car ride home my dad did not answer any of my questions, when we got home it was about 9 o’clock and was still really cold. When i got in my mom said to me that he did not make up, my mind was going at a 1000 miles per hour so it took me a while to process but when it hit me it hit me hard, i had a major panic attack it was so bad that i almost threw up, my mom said it will be ok and calm down but nothing was helping it just got worse and worse, when my mom said that if we went in the morning i would of saw him pass away. i realized that if i saw that it would really mess me up in the head. I am glad that i did not go see him that
