My dad has been in the hospital for a little while now. With a very real possibility that he could die. I sent him a few text messages. That was really about it.
He just got released today. My mom called me a few minutes before. I heard where the conversation was going. I just said: i know i know i know i know, you don't even have to say it.
I called him. Had a bit of an awkward conversation. I almost started to cry when he was telling me of his stay.
What a piece of shit I am. What a fucking piece of shit. I have a father in the hospital, who could die, and I can't bother myself to give him a phone call! I am more than greatful that this didn't turn into the hardest kind of life lesson. I had the smallest thought in the back of my mind when my mom called. A little 'what if?'
I have to make this promise to myself. To stay in touch with everyone who really matters. When theyre gone, you cant have them back. I dont want to learn this the hard way.
They are my parents, I want to give them everything. I love them. I will always love them.
