At just 16 years old, he was faced with a truth no teenager should ever hear: “You might not wake up.”
Doctors had prepared him for a life-threatening surgery — one with no guarantees. And in that moment, with everything on the line, he reached for the phone and called the one person he needed most: his mother.
His voice trembled.
“Mom… if anything happens… just know I love you.”
His father walked him to the operating room, trying to be the rock his son needed. “You’ll be okay,” he said — but behind his calm words, he was holding back tears. Because part of him feared he might be saying goodbye.
This call wasn’t just a farewell. It was courage, love, and the heartbreaking strength of a family facing the unthinkable.
He survived the surgery. But the memory of that call still echoes in every parent’s heart.
