Hills Like White Elephants (Ernest Hemingway) My professor asked me and my classmates to write about a event that happened in the past week. He wanted us to write about it in the first person . Getting the devastating phone call from my Aunt debbie on a Wednesday Afternoon telling me the about the horrible news I didnt want to hear. The Quiet words that came from her small wrinkly mouth. “ Your Uncle Rob is in the ICU, and we dont think he has much longer to live.” My heart instantly sank, and i became very lost for words. I asked her “ What hospital is he at?” She proclaimed “Christiana Hospital in Delaware.” I instabtly said thankyou and hoped in my car and went right to the hospital
I walked in the hospital and asked the nurses if they knew where rob stafford was located? They had said he was the next set of doors. I went to his room and saw him laying there. He was all paleish and was in a comma. I instantly started to cry. I was so upset. I said a prayer over him and said my last goodbyes. The nurses said he only had a couple more hours to live. He was living off of life support. All of his organs were shutting down. He basically caught a infection from the alchohol, and a mixture of other stuff. I said once last goodbye, and left very very upset. I went back home that night and a couple hours later my aunt call me to tell me he has passed away. I was very sad. I couldnt even sleep that night. The next day i went back to the hospital with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. My one aunt and uncle i have never met came town from kentucky and i got to meet them for the first time. It was a very sad day but at the same time it brought me and my other family together and we had a great couple days together. We talked and shared storys and ate food and just had a good time. He is currently getting cremated and a funeral will be held in the next couple of weeks for him.
