I MISS MY DADDY
by Veronica Sanchez, Los Puentes Charter School (Albuquerque)
It all happened at Los Palomas on July 16, 2008. My godfather got a phone call from my mom saying my dad was very sick and I needed to go right away. So, my mom came to pick me up and we were on our way.
My dad was very sick. He had gone to eat and could not swallow his food. They had to suck it back up. Then his voice started to fade away. He could not breathe so they put him on oxygen. He also had high blood pressure and his heart rate kept going up and down.
My dad was going to get better, but when days went by my dad was not getting any better. On July 18, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. my dad passed away.
We had a funeral for him in Dixon, NM where all his family lives. Well, there are are tears and laughter about my dad but most of all I miss my daddy.
