The Day Of Heartbreak
Some argue that healthcare workers work in health care because they couldnt fix themselves. If you asked me I would tell you I agree, but if you asked me on a deeper level I would tell you I work in health care because my heart died at a hospital. Today marks the day that my everything was taken away from me. My dad was in the front seat while I sat in the back. One minute we were driving the next our car was flipped over of the side of the road. All I could remember before I passed out was my dads body through the front windsheild and hearing sirens in the distance. When I woke up my dad was no where to be found instead I found my aunt Kelly talking to the doctor outside of the room. After a long discussion they both walked in the room and stood at the edge of my hospital bed. As soon as that doctor looked at me I started to tear up because I had already knew what was going on. The doctor at the last hospital gave me the same look when she told me my mother passed the previous year. "Fortunately you were able to escape with just a few minor injuries but unfortunately your dad didnt make it his injuries were to severe there was nothing we could do to save him." As I sat there and cried all my aunt Kelly could manage to do was walk out of the hospital and leave me there. I didnt say anything because there was already to much running through my head. A few days later I was laying in my hospital bed and my phone rang I looked at the caller ID to see that is was my boyfriend Jake. We had been dating for about two years now so he called me pretty regularly so I didnt suspect anything. As soon as I picked up the phone I could tell something was off he didnt answer with his regular "hey babe" or even "good morning" it was nothing but silence. He was the first to say something but its not what I thought "hey Carly I really think this isnt working out for me right now I cant handle everything going on right now with you and your family Im sorry." He hung up. I put my phone on the bed next to me and just stared at the wall. In the span of one week I had lost my father the man who was always there for me when mom wasnt and the only person I had left. That day was also the day I vowed to never love someone the way I loved them because I dont know if I could ever put myself through that again.
