On this DATE on SEPTEMBER 16th, 2000 at 6:07 a.m; I was AWAKEN from my SLEEP out of a DREAM; I was DREAMING that my Dad, (WILLIAM ISAIAH DAVIS) was calling MY name. I was in the OTHER room TALKING in my SLEEP to my Dad, saying; Papa, Papa! I WOKE up and STARTED to LAUGH, and said to my Dad; Pa-Pa, WE were TALKING to each OTHER in our SLEEP! WOULD you LIKE a CUP of COFFEE? HE started to ANSWER, and all of SUDDEN he stopped with his RESPONSE, thinking that he was JUST yawning. I said; Pa-Pa, would YOU like your usual CUP of COFFEE; 2 teaspoons of sugar, BLACK? He DIDNT answer; SO I said AGAIN; Pa-Pa, Pa-Pa. He didnt ANSWER me. So I walked into his ROOM, (at 2707 POPLAR Avenue in Northwoods Projects, Huntsville, Alabama), my Dad was SWINGING with ONE hand, and HOLDING onto the head board with the OTHER hand! I walked OVER to him, and PUT my HAND on his SHOULDER and said; Pa-Pa, WAKE UP, you DREAMING! All of a SUDDEN; I FELT water HITTING my legs, I heard WATER hitting the FLOOR! I looked into my Dad EYES, and I saw this IMMENSE pain. I HEARD this NOISE as THOUGH he was EATING some hard CANDY, as though he was EATING ice! He fell TOWARDS me, and I caught him! He had LOST so much from the Heart Attacks that HE had SUFFERED over the last FEW months, but he was SO HEAVY! I STRETCHED him OUT on the BED, as I watched his CHEST, rise and FALL! I IMMEDIATELY dialed 911 because the WATER that I felt and SAW leaving every OPENING on his BODY was URINE and BODILY fluids! I called My Mom (she was a CNA, and a NURSE for years), and I said; Mom, Pa-Pa has HAD a SEIZURE or a STROKE or something; What do I do? She said; PUT a SPOON in his MOUTH, and if He BITES down, WE GOT a CHANCE! I ran into the KITCHEN and GRABBED a SPOON and RAN back as FAST as I could and I put it in HIS mouth; NOTHING HAPPENED! I looked into my DAD EYES, and he stared BACK at me, BLANKLY. I saw a WHITE light GO in CIRCLE inside his EYES, and GO down into his EYES! I listened as the AMBULANCE siren got CLOSER and CLOSER to US! I heard the WIND stop BLOWING, the BIRDS stopped singing! I HEARD the FRONT door OPEN, (I opened it EARLIER, when I retrieved the SPOON from the kitchen), it was the PARAMEDICS. I watched as they TRIED to REVIVE my Pa-Pa. I WATCHED as they TRIED to RESUSCITATE my Dad. They cant RESTART his HEART, and they are WORKING so FAST! Then the DECISION is made from one of the PARAMEDICS, we have to GET him to the HOSPITAL. They immediately put my Dad on the GURNEY for TRANSPORT to Huntsville Hospital. I asked the PARAMEDIC who seemed to be the LEADER if I could ride with them; He said; Of COURSE, but RIDE up in the FRONT! We have to WORK on your Dad! We have to TRY to SAVE his LIFE! I couldnt STAND to WATCH them PERFORM C.P.R on him. His LIFELESS body LAYING there! His STOMACH going UP and DOWN with every COMPRESSION on his chest! So I just LOOKED forward as WE headed DOWN South Parkway, exiting on GOVERNORS DRIVE. As we MADE the turn (LEFT), I asked the DRIVER of the AMBULANCE; Before YOU all arrived and as I walked into the ROOM, around 6:07am. He was STANDING at the head of the bed, and he COLLAPSED! I tried to find his CHEST wall separation to CONDUCT C.P.R, but I couldnt! As I HELD him, my Dad MADE this NOISE as THOUGH, he was EATING some HARD CANDY. The PARAMEDIC looked me in MY eyes, and said; Son, that was your Dad DEATH rattle. Those were his LAST breaths YOU heard. SO PLEASE PRAY for me this day, because MY HEART is heavy Pa-Pa died at 6:12 a.m, SEPT. 16th, 2000. He died 2 DAYS before his 64th birthday! He died in MY ARMS! But my Pa-Pa also DIED KNOWING that I also had CHANGED! He died SAVED! I left for CHICAGO a month LATER, and been HERE since! I am STILL here, KEPT by the POWER of GOD, (PRAY for me) T. Davis
