"I just got done talking with the doctor, I'm gonna have Amanda say good by then I am pulling the plug." He said looking at his dad. "I'm sorry dad, I'm sorry." Holden said kissing his dad's hand. He wiped away his tears as he stood up to go and get Amanda.

"Brother!" Amanda yelled as she saw Holden.
He smiled as he picked up Amanda, "How are you doing sis?" He asked trying to put on a brave face.
"Daddy isn't doing good." She said fiddling with her fingers.
"I know that's why I am here. Um daddy is going up to heaven." He said biting the inside of his cheek, he bit it so hard that it started bleeding. But it healed up almost instantly.
"I know he is. What is gonna happen to me?" She asked looking Holden in the eyes.

"Well you are gonna come live with me and my boyfriend in England." He said with a smile as he slowly made his way to his dad's room.
"Ok." She said looking down again.
"I want you to say good bye to daddy one last time." He said barely keeping himself together.
Amanda just nodded.

Holden got to his dad's room, he put Amanda down and helped her sit in the chair so she could say good bye.
She put her hand on her dad's hand, "I love you daddy, I hope you have fun in heaven." She said.
Holden turned around and nodded at the nurse, "Um Amanda this nice lady is gonna take you to the waiting room by auntie." He said as a tear fell down his cheek.
Amanda nodded and followed the nurse.

Holden listened to make sure she was far enough away. "Do it." Holden said still holding his composure.
