He lives about 2 hours away from an actual hospital so they had to bring him in on a helicopter. I was living about 30 minutes away from the hospital they took him to. Mom and my brother had to drive up, they wouldn't let either one take the helicopter. Nothing slaps you in the face harder than being the only one in the waiting room when the doctor calls "Last Name" family? For the doctor to come to ME (daddy's little princess) to ask questions and for me to hear, for the first time the horrible details of his heart attack. I remember thinking "welcome to being a grown up-I want to be a little girl again" and most of all "I want my daddy to be okay" Almost 10 years after the heart attack he's still going strong and I pray every day I get to keep my daddy for a long long long long time. <strong><em>I do too.</strong></em> I remember when my dad had a heart attack.

Almost 10 years after the heart attack he’s still going strong and I pray every day I get to keep my daddy for a long long long long time.

I do too.

BTW, he hasn't had another since. It's kinda nice having the extra care as a precaution, even though he doesn't need it. The scenes around him, well, you're putting them to good use.
