"what do you mean maddie?" she stammers while her sister looks down to her feet "the uh the doctors don't think he's gonna make it this time"

"wa-what no th-that can't be i-i thought he was getting better?" mackenzie chokes dropping to her knees on the floor

"i know baby but all that matters right now is that we are there for him." maddie cries picking her sister rip off the ground and leading her out the door to the car.

the two sisters drove in silence to the hospital, both still in shock

they pulled into the parking lot and sprint straight through the doors passed the front desk and into their dads hospital room.

"oh dad" kenzie breathes running over to her fathers side a grabbing tightly onto his hand

"hey baby girl" he says softly squeezing her hand

"do you need anything? anything at all?" the girl  asks her father as he shakes his head no with tears eyes

"no no i have everything i need right here" he tells her causing more tears to pile up in the two sisters eyes

kenzie slips into bed next to her father with maddie on the other side both enjoying their last moments with their beloved father crying and reminiscing on their childhood.
