Long term impacts of a decision

  • Poor decision

    My dad made a poor decision. One time when I was really sick I tried calling my dad to tell him I would be able to see him because I had some kind of flu but, he wouldn't answer which was very odd of him.
  • Poor decision

    By now I had gotten over my sickness and my dad had only called me once to tell me to stop calling him because I would spam him with calls and texts cause he wouldn't answer. When he told me not to call him anymore that hurt really bad and really effected the way I acted.
  • Poor decision Part 1

    So today was my birthday and I had stayed the night at my cousins house yesterday. I didn't wake up until like 9:00 or so. When I got up my aunt Mary got a call from my mom. I watched my aunt run outside with a sad face. I was very confused so I asked my cousin Luke what was happening and he said he didn't know. When my aunt came back in I had asked what was wrong and she didn't say anything she just walked up to me and gave me a big hug. Now I was really confused.
  • Poor decision Part 2

    When my aunt was done hugging me she started yelling at everyone that we had to leave right now. When Luke and I were ready we sat in the car and waited. We didn't think anything serious was happening or anything like that so we started to guess what had happened. I asked like and he shrugged and then I said "what if my dad died." I wish I would have never had said that. When my Aunt Mary got in the car she looked at me and started crying then my cousin Jacob got in the car and looked at me...
  • Poor decision Part 3

    Jacob started crying too. When we were driving I didn't know where we were going but I just assumed my house and that was where we ended up going. When we got there we went out to the back yard cause that's where everyone was. When we went out there I saw my mom, aunt Maggie, and neighbor all sting down and crying and Maggie said "Just go inside honey" At that point I was freaking out. I didn't know what was happening. Then my aunt Mary said "come out side" so I did. When I went out there...
  • Poor decision Part 4

    When I got outside my aunt Maggie said "sit with your mom" so I did and when I sat down my mom started crying even harder. My aunt Maggie told her to just tell me. At this point I was shaking and very nervous. Then my mom said the word that I will never forget until I die. "Your dad passed away." All the weight of the world was put upon me and I started balling. When I asked how my mom hesitated and then said "he had hung himself" then I just was in shear pain.
  • Poor decision Part 5

    The rest of the day my whole family started to show up. Everyone was calling off work to come and see me. I was really glad that they all came. But at the same time it stunk because everyone was crying and no one stopped until they were alll home and asleep. But this had a very negative effect on me especially going into 8th grade. It was very very hard at first because I was always sad and never paid attention because I was to busy thinking about my dad. But soon I had started being happier.
  • Poor decision

    Jump to today and I am very happy now and am trying to do the best I can to make my dad proud. I made a good decision of not being so glum because it was making other people in my life feel glum. And now I am really happy with what I am doing and how good I am doing in school.
