DAD

As I sat there on that Sunday morning waiting patiently for the men in my life to finish getting ready for church so we could leave and arrive at church for the Christmas Eve Service. I sat in church expecting to come home and celebrate Christmas with mom on that Christmas Eve afternoon. While sitting there all that ran through my head was "I just wished we could hurry up and get home." Then suddenly Dad leaves his seat as Tyler & I sit there and listen to the preacher start to preach. Then I watched Tyler walk away from his seat as I wondered where were they going? All of a sudden I realize my name was on the screen so I stepped away from my seat in a sudden curiosity as to what was going on. I walk out of the double doors to find my family awaiting my arrival to leave the church in a hurry. Not knowing what was going on I made everyone STOP and I just wanted to listen to what was happening why everyone was in weird moods and why all the tears. So my ears heard someone say "Your dad is going to the hospital we need to hurry and leave. You must find a car and go to the hospital." As I stood there crying just wanting Shawn to drive me to the hospital Bill embraced me in his arms hugging me tightly reassuring me it would be ok. We then arrive to find out dad hadn't arrived from being air lifted to the hospital. All I could think about is I want Emily Mann because she always comforts me in a great way but also trying to be strong for the family. Emily and Corey finally arrive to reassure me more just has Emily's dad Bill had earlier. Then Corey had to give me one of his big bear hugs which I must say I love. We start to gather people and in walked Michael Bowers who I love dearly. Michael was always my hero and when he showed up that day I was less stressed just to see him and know he'd be there to help us through this tragedy.
