Chapter 20 IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

RAY PARKER

The doctor checked and drew his conclusions regarding the condition of dad. He came outside and we both placed ourselves in front of him.

The doctor was looking very tense. So I and Jeffrey asked him about Dad's condition. On that, he said that "Father's condition is deteriorating. There is a lot of loss of blood. They don't have much time."

I was very nervous. I had already lost my mother, now I did not want to lose my father either.

I asked the doctor, "Is there any way in which dad can be saved?"

He replied that "It's is too late now. Now it is difficult to save him."

I didn't understand anything at that time. I and Jeffrey looked at each other and both were really very upset.

I went inside the operation ward near my father and sat down. Dad was looking at me and was completely silent. There were many things hidden in his silence. And I could feel those things.
