- My story starts on July 19th, Only a few days before my 17th birthday. Me, my mom, and my brother drove to Rochester to go see my grandparents for lunch, while my dad stayed at home not feeling well.
- Hi Tommy! Happy early birthday!
- Hey Bob!
- Me
- I was unaware that this day would end up changing my life as i knew it
- Something about today feels off.
- My mom and I were driving back from lunch, as we tried to call my dad to see how he was feeling. He didn't answer.
- Yes, this was actually joked about at lunch and on the drive home. I remember vividly hearing this from myself, my mom, and my brother. We had just seen him the night before, and he just seemed ill, not much more than that. We had NO worries
- Hes probably just sleeping sweetie, hes had a long week
- What if dad died? 
- At this point, Bob (my brother) left for home back in Wisconsin. Me and my mom were just arriving at home, and the grim feeling just wouldn't shake.
- I better call bob to see if he made it back home safe
- What we had joked about in the car suddenly became a reality. Still, to this day, I have not fully processed the feelings and emotions this moment caused. I was unsure if I'd ever see my dad again, and from here until the end of august, It was looking like my dad was going to pass.
- TOM! CALL AN AMBULANCE! DAD IS UNRESPONSIVE
- As I paced around waiting for an ambulance, my neighbors came outside to see what all the commotion was about.Luckily, my neighbor Brad was a nurse practitioner
- Minutes before this, I had seen my dad cold on the floor, which he had mostlikely been there for hours at that point. If we had been home any later, my dad would have died.
- Hey Tommy! is everything alright?
- My dad is unresponsive in the basement, I'm waiting for the police and the ambulance
