On June 26th, 1998 my dad was driving my brother and me
home. Since my parents were divorced it was our weekend to be
with him. We had celebrated my brother8217;s birthday (June 20th)
that weekend. We were in my dad8217;s black truck and I was sitting in
the middle. I was only seven at the time. Once we got to my house
in Laverne my dad said 8220;I love you Rodney (my brother) I love you
Nikki,8221; then left.
My mom, Rodney, and I had gotten back from Florida about
two weeks earlier. We had recorded everything on tape. One of
the things that we recorded was me writing in the sand -8221;hi
daddy8221; When we got home we were watching the tape and 8220;I said
I want to show daddy.8221; And my mom said 8220;Okay, take it with you
when you go to his house again. Then it came time to go to his a
house. I forgot the tape. Then when he dropped us off I forgot to
let him borrow it. So he never got to see it.
About two days later (June 28th), my mom and I were
rearranging my bedroom. That night when I was laying down in bed
I saw car lights on my window. I went and asked my mom who it
was because no one had called.(My brother wasn8217;t home) It was my
aunt. She came in and asked me to go to my room, so I did. She
looked so sad.
I kept asking myself 8220;Why was she so sad? Why was she so
sad?8221; About fifteen minutes later my mom called me to where
they were and when I saw her, her and my aunt were crying. I
begged and begged 8220;What happened? What happened?8221; Not too
long after that I was crying too. My aunt explained to me that my
dad had had . . . . . . . . . . . . . a heart attack. I knew that my dad
was at Nice Mill Dam earlier with his feance Laura and her three
kids.
She held me while I cried so hard. I knew it couldn8217;t be true
- 8220;He8217;s NOT dead He8217;s NOT dead8221; I kept saying to myself. But
he was. I hated it but it was true. She told me the next day that
he had clogged arteries and they couldn8217;t revive him. She said the
doctors did an autopsy and they said that he didn8217;t take care of
himself, and it was also because he smoked and drank so much.
She also told me something I did NOT want to hear. I was the
last to know out of my immediate family. I hated myself for a very
long time. Then I realized that I love him and he loves me and
that will NEVER change
Morals :
1. You never know what you have until you have lost it.
2. When it comes to saying goodbye don8217;t be mad when it comes
time to do it.
3. Don8217;t be mad at yourself when something happens because what
ever happens . . . . . . . . happens.
