"Cookie they just said he's coding! Please,no! Please hurry.i can't, I can't!" I hear Dejah yell through the phone. I could hear the terror  and sorrow in her voice.

Then I heard the phone click.

I gripped at the stirring wheel, my eyes starting to itch with with tears.

Please God, don't take this man from his family.

I silently prayed in my head.

They said he was coding which mean he had just flatlined.

I couldn't swallow due to my throat being swollen from holding back my sobs.
