The Great Depression
The Great Depression
On May 9th, 2007 my family’s happiness turned upside down. I was at the pond out in
Swansboro with my brother, Drew, and my mom, Dena. My brother and I were
having a great time having fun in the pond until my mom got a phone call.
It was my dad. She could barely hear him because there was limited phone service. All
could hear was him crying. My mom kept on saying, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
She finally got a good signal and she heard the most horrible words she has ever heard.
“ TYLER WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND HIS FRIEND WAS DEAD!” There
was a moment of silence as my mom’s eyes got big and wide. She started to yell. Wait
what… WHERE’S MY SON? WHERE’S MY SON?” and the signal was lost. She
started
freaking out and crying really bad. Drew and I just stood there looking at her. She yelled
,“Get in the car!” we continued to stand there looking at her all confused. She screamed
again, “NOW!!”
“MOM, what’s wrong? what’s wrong?” I asked as we climbed into the car. I started to
cry as she told us the news. Drew just sat stiff as a board.
We rushed home, and put on dry clothes.
When I was in my room my brother’s phone went off and I heard him
talking, “ Matt, I can’t talk right now I think my brother might be dead,” he said in a
crying voice. We ran to the car and my mom got in and called my dad back. He said that
Tyler had been air flighted to the Modesto Hospital. “Where are you? She asked him.”
“I’m almost to the hospital; he replied. She
hung up and called the Modesto Hospital. The
doctor said that he couldn’t tell her anything over the phone. My dad called my mom
back an said “ Tyler is in a
comma, broke his left hip, lost some blood in his brain, and he cannot move the left
side of his body.”
My mom and dad started to cry with each other. They were full of
emotion. My mom said through her tears, “ I will call you when I get to the hospital, ok.”
She started
the car and we rushed down to the hospital like lighting. It took us two hours to get to the
hospital. When we finally got there and I saw my dad, I jumped out of the car ran up to
him and held on
to him! Then I started to cry. “Is he ok?” he replied, “ He doesn’t look so good Rye” in a
crying voice. I said “ I want to see him, I want to see him now!” We started to walk into
the waiting room on the first floor and I saw my older brother Ren. I ran up to him and he
would not let go of me. The guard at the door said “Only Tyler’s parents and siblings
can se him right now.” My dad said,” That’s all of us” an we started are way up to
Tyler’s room.
