The Cure

My mum and I were walking back from the bed my dad was in. He was in hospital after a car crash two weeks ago, hes broken both of legs and his brain has stopped functioning. Mum and I always visit him once a day. as usual we were leaving the hospital after our daily visit with my dad when i all of a sudden collapsed. I woke up hours after in a hospital bed, wondering why i was here. My mum was next to me, she was crying. i asked her whats wrong. She didn't reply so i asked again and yet again no reply. I lay there pretty much lifeless. A nurse walks in after a few minutes saying she has bad new and more bad news. My mum looks up at her, tears falling from her eyes. "is he okay, is she okay" my mum mumbles the words out. The nurse asks my mum if she could come take a walk with her as they needed to talk. It sounded serious and at first i thought my dad didn't make it, i then remembered that i was too in a hospital bed. Moments pass but it felt like hours before my mum and the nurse came back in she was hysterically crying and came over to me and said "everything is going to be fine we can get through this" i start to shed some tears still not knowing whats going on. i tried to ask her whats happening but nothing came out of my mouth. The nurse came over to the other side of me and sat down on the bed and explained what was going on she told me that my dad didn't make it and that they don't know why i collapsed earlier. Once the first tear left my eye the rest followed like an unbreakable stream. My dad had just passed away. My mum came over and hugged me hours, we laid in the hospital bed until the nurse came in giving us our release papers and a follow up doctors appointment. we left the hospital and drove home. My mum and I cried ourselves to sleep that night devastated that we had just lost one of the most important person in our life.
