I took a step forward and let a tear fall from my eye.
Me: Dad…..
I took a look at all the wires I see around him. He was lying in the hospital bed with a mask over his nose and mouth. I couldn't believe it. This whole time I thought he was strong but I guess he's not. I should've listened to him. I should've studied more and not text too much. Everything would've been fine. He saw me and took the mask off.
Dad: (coughs) hey sweetie.
Me: (smiles) Hey. How are you doing?
Dad: Well I mean look at me.
Me: Dad we tried to tell you.
I walked over by him to talk to him.
Me: Remember when I was in 1st grade and I got my first award? You picked me up and swung me around. We were smiling. You bought me a bike because of that.
Dad: (chuckles) Yeah I remember.
Me: Look dad, I know I'm not the smartest kid in school. I get it. But if you keep smoking, it makes me depress and it affects my school work. Dad, I've tried so hard in school. Can you at least try to stop smoking? You always want me to graduate with straight a's, but how are you going to witness that if you keep smoking?
It was nothing but silence. He look sadden. We both did. I was crying and hoping that he'll listen.
Dad: We're both going to try. If you see cigarettes, then confront me. I'm willing to quit. I'll do anything to make my daughter happy. But you still need to study more too.
I smiled and gave him a big hug. I'm shocked that he is quitting but I'm also happy.
Me: I promise daddy.
I continued to cry on his shoulder. I just didn't want to lose him, especially at this age.
