A Lesson
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was night time and the sky was dark except for the stars. My family and I were in the house and my dad was experiencing a lot of pain on one side of his stomach. My mom tried to get him to go to the hospital but he wouldn't. Over the hours the Finally the pain got so bad that he had to go to the hospital. My brother and I had to stay with my grandmother while my mom was at the hospital with my dad. It took all day at the hospital to find out what was wrong. After a number of tests the doctors determined that the pain he was experiencing was due to cancer. He had cancer in his left kidney. We were all very concerned about this and so he went int
He walked up and down the halls slowly with his IV. While he was in the hospital, he didn't seem to be my dad. He had his stomach stapled up, this really grossed me out because I was not exposed to things like this. We was quiet and soft-spoken, always whispering. While he was in surgery I thought a lot about how I never thought one of my parents would ever have to go through something like this. Being young I thought about stuff like "What if something were to go wrong and I didn't have a dad anymore?", 'What would it be like living just me my brother and my mom?", " Would people look at me different?" Would I look at myself differently? These are only some of the things that went through my mind at the time. And all that time you took for granted with them was wasted and you can never get it back. This is a lesson I will never forget. The lesson that I learned was to appreciate some one every moment you have with them because you never know when the tables will turn and you might not have that person anymore. And this surgery really made me stop and think. When you like your life day to day normally you never stop to think what if "this" were to happen. It seemed like every time he moved it hurt him. I can remember being at my grandma's as long he was in the hospital and my mom my brother and I were very worried.
