Heart attack

My father had a heart attack. All signs suggest that it was a minor one. Monday, the doctors are going to send a camera up an artery and take a peek at his heart to see what type of damage was done.

Right now I am a bit numb to this whole thing. I have asked a couple of times if he wants me to go visit, and I keep getting told that I don't need to go. I have never been a real leader, make the hard decisions and just do it kinda person.

So... while my father lays in bed, sick, I will contemplate why the hell I can't decide to go see him. I don't think I should have to have him say "Yeah, Carl, I need you to come up here." Of course, if my little sister wasn't already on her way up there, he may have said just that.
