The close call
|
Me and my dad were at our camp, just us. My 2 siblings were at work and so was my mom. This was during May or June of 2007.I was cutting off birch bark. Killing a tree.. My dad told me not to do it and he yelled at me and started swearing. I got mad at him walked to the beach. It was just after break up. There was still ice on the bank. I stood on one and was looking out onto the river. I wished my dad would die or get hurt. I was wishing things that I didnt mean. I was just standing there when I heard him yell "BITCH" I turned around but stood still. My dad yelled to me "go find someone with a vehicle" I ran 3 feet and stopped. I asked why. He said"I hurt myself" I ran to the area he was at.I stopped dead in my tracks. He was holding his had facing away from me, I saw the blood on the ground, on the trees, he turned around and said "give me something to wrap my hand in." I grabbed a sweater and threw it to him. then he said "go look for help" I just started running my fastest taking the long way without even thinking about taking the short cut. I ran about 30 feet b4 i saw my 2 cousins with a 4 wheeler. I just waved not thinking about stopping them. because my baby cousin was there. so i just ran all the way to my aunties house, when i got to the top of the hill i looked back and saw my dad coming. he caught a ride with my uncle and he drove him to my aunties.I couldnt stop crying to tell her what was going on..I almost fainted at how shocked I was. My auntie called the health aid and my mom. my mom and uncle brought my dad to the clinic and i stayed at my aunties. she hugged me and i just started crying my hardest into her. she told me everything was going to be okay and i knew it but at how much blood i saw scared me. my dad cut back of his left hand the main vein. well almost cut it. it was not even a hair away from the vein. he lucked out a lot. it he hit it, he would of had to loose his left hand. he cut his hand with an ax. it bounced back and hit him on the hand. if could of hit him in the head, but luck was on his side.. he had to keep his hand in a brace for 4 weeks. I never left him alone when he went some where by himself. each time i think of that moment, i start crying and thinking about how close of a call that was. I could of lost my dad because of a wish i didnt even mean...I love you dad!!!!I AM SO SORRY!
