Letter Fourteen

Hi dad

I just came back from the hospital. The night of Tuesday was scary. I got sick again, this time for real. I was feeling so much pain in my chest that it made me cry. Mom was scared for me. I don't remember much of that night, but I remember how mom called the ambulance and rushed me to the hospital.

I was there for five days. I came back today. Mom told me that I have a weak heart. I don't know what that means. And that I have to be extra careful from now on. I remember asking her about you dad while I laid on the hospital bed. All she did was hush me and hug me. I thought you would come to see me. At least once.
