Cinnamon（桂皮）Lady
I got a call from my sister that my dad had taken a turn for the worse, and I needed to get home right away. I wasn't 21bd_blank for that. When I got to the hospital, he had already slipped 22bd_blank a coma(昏迷). I had 23bd_blank all the dramatic goodbyes that were said because everyone knew he was not going to 24bd_blank it. So that was upsetting.
After two weeks, I brought up the idea that maybe we should take my dad off life 25bd_blank . We all knew it was time. I thought that once the medical aid was 26bd_blank , there'd be a lot of crying for ten to 15 minutes, and then the person would pass away. 27bd_blank , we waited for five hours.
Right in the middle of this, the attending doctor 28bd_blank for another patient into our room. When nurses 29bd_blank a woman in, one who had just had heart surgery, I thought, "That's not a good idea. My dad is dying. Why are you bringing in a woman who's had heart surgery? It's a bad 30bd_blank ."
The woman was on a lot of medication, saying crazy things and 31bd_blank her covers off. I'm on this side of the room, with a 32bd_blank that is not very soundproof (隔音的), sitting by my dad, saying, " I love you, Dad."
From the other side, we heard, " Cinnamon".
" Your were such a great dad to me."
“Cinnamon”
"Dad, you were wonderful."
"Cinnamon."
33bd_blank .we couldn't help laughing, because our life was exploding in front of our eyes, and at that moment we were crying and laughing. We all stopped crying for a moment and laughed really 34bd_blank .
Four hours later, a nurse said, "It's time. His heart rate is 35bd_blank ." We held my dad's hands and the nurse said again."Maybe if you tell him it's OK to go, he'll go." So we all said, "Daddy, it's OK" and ". We love you "and my mom said. " John. you were such a great dad and I love you".
Suddenly across the room from the old lady in the bed, we heard. " Don't go. John".
Yeah. That was 36bd_blank was inside me. I thought I gave that woman my words:"Don't go. John. Don't go". But he did. I had my hand on his chest and his heart 37bd_blank .
Later, we found out Cinnamon Lady-that's what I 38bd_blank her, Cinnamon Lady-didn't have anyone in her life named John. I thought, wow, that's 39bd_blank . But we also 40bd_blank she was a baker. So we understood the cinnamon part.
