My Dad
==== On December 30, 2004 my dad died. He had a drinking problem. He started drinking at the age of 15 and kept drinking more ever since. Although he had this bad habit he was a good person. He would put everyone before himself. My dad would always help out everyone. He was funny and always the life of the party type of person. My mom and I were always worried about him. Most of he time I would be scared that something would happen to him. We were constantly asking him to stop drinking, but he never thought that anything bad would ever happen. Infact he would always say nothing would ever happen to him and he would always be there with us. Even though he would say that so much I knew that is wasn't true and something would eventually happen to him. One day he didn't feel good so we took him to the hospital. The doctor told us he had liver cirrhosis which is kind of like liver cancer. For about one year we were in and out of the hospital as he got sick and healthy. It was a very difficult time for me. Then in fourth grade during winter break he fell very sick and was hospitalized for a week. That week seemed like it would never end. During the time he was in the hospital the doctors put a tube in his liver so the blood could flow easier and his liver could take some rest. That did help some, but not enough. The day that my dad died he was supposed to be coming home. The doctors said that he was better now and could go home. We still don't know the cause of his death. The doctors said that it may have been a heart attack, but they don't know for sure. I loved my dad a lot and I miss him a lot too. ====
