Hey everyone,

Today has been a horrible day for me. I already feel better right now but I've been crying for the past 2 hours because my dad died today.

My whole family, friends, and neighbors were so shocked because my dad looked okay. My dad has been having traveling with his leg lately but it was nothing too serious. I just wished my dad told us to take him to the hospital if he was feeling horrible.

Well... if you all want to know how it happened. Here is the story to it.

My mom woke up because he was getting ready to go to work. It was around 7:45am today and she tries to wake up my dad because she thought that he overslept and forgot about work. She tried waking up my dad but he couldn't wake up. I was still sleeping during this time.

She was crying and panicking and I woke up rushing to the room because my mom felt my dad's pulse and he wasn't breathing and he was also cold all over his body. My mom called the ambulance. The ambulance was being so stupid though because my mom kept repeating herself for five minutes saying "My husband is cold and he isn't breathing... get over here and hurry". I seriously wanted to grab the phone and tell them "Rush over here you stupid people". The ambulance finally got here.

My mom called one of my cousins and then my cousins and the whole family rushed to our house and were crying. Some of my relatives were angry and wanted to punch something but me and my cousins calmed them down. The ambulance said that there was nothing that they can do and that my dad is DEAD.

My whole family and I cried so much. I didn't go to school today and neighter of my other cousins went to school today either. I don't even think I'll go to school all this week. I'll see what happens though. My dad was a good man and I loved him very much. He did get me angry sometimes and he would make some dumb mistakes but I still loved my dad very much. I can't believe my dad is actually gone, everyone is so shocked. I officially lost my dad at 17 years old. My family from Denver, Colorado (who know? the ones who come to visit us in El Paso, Texas every summer for 2 weeks) are even driving down here and should arrive at my house tomorrow morning. Pretty much everyone is gonna be here even my family who doesn't live in El Paso.

I'm doing okay right now but I will miss my dad very much.

R.I.P. Dad- Lived from June 12th, 1965- September 26th, 2011. :(
