The Last Time I Saw My Dad


It was September 17, 2013

My dad had bought a T.V.

For my sister and I

We had put it together that day

 

My dad was happy that day

There was no sign that something bad was going to happen

September 18, 2013

My grandparents came

 

My dad was laughing

And he was having a great time with my grandparents

There was no sign that something bad was going to happen

September 20, 2013

 

My mom dropped my dad to the bus station

My mom tried to call, but it was dead silent

like a graveyard

Ring! Ring! Ring!

 

My sister answered the phone

A woman was on the phone

She said my dad was in critical condition

We rushed to Jefferson Hospital

 

It was too late

My dad had died

he died on September 20, 2013

Because of a heart attack

 

My life had changed so much ever since

It has been hard for my family and I, but

My mom is trying to be strong

Like a lion
