In December 2011 my father became sick. One morning I was still in bed and I was awake but just laying there and my instincts said to get up, I got up and something said go down the hall, well I started walking down the hall in the kitchen and walked to the back door and as I stood at the back door, I saw my father walking very fast coming from the trash can walking with a high speed and as he approached the steps to come inside I asked him if he was ok and you know men, I’m fine, and as I turned my back I could see out the corner of my eye him leaning towards the wall and I ran over to catch him and I asked him again was he ok and I got the same response, but then I had to make a decision to take him to the hospital.
