My Dad Had Seizure……?

Question by Ashley C: My dad had seizure……?
[rewrite]Alright. So I had not heard from my dad for a few months and I was a little worried. He tended to call once a week at most. Now my birthday had passed and he hadn’t called me to wish me a happy birthday. He always does this. So it meant one of 3 things. 1] He was incarcerated; 2] He was dead and no one had told me or 3] He’d totally forgotten my birthday. That has never happened before so I ruled out number 3. Now concerning my father and jail. I think had he lived in PA long enough, they would know him by name. Now I looked at the police website and looked at probably over a thousand police records for the month. He wasn’t on there. So I asked my mom what I should to find him and she said to wait. Now I’ve forgot to mention something. My dad and I are on the same cell phone plan. HOWEVER, he canceled our plan without telling me, making it no possible for him to contact me and vise versa. Okay so the day after my birthday we come home from Target and I say before anyone else “I’m gonna use the phone.” So as my grandmother hands me the phone it starts ringing and I see my other grandma’s number pop up. When I answer it, my dad tells me everything and in order not to make myself cry, I can’t say actual sentences. “Uhhuh. Love you too.” before I hang up. Now I’m in shock but I call my fiance to tell him. He doesn’t know a lot about my father but since his father hasn’t contacted him ever, we’re in the same boat. Now he had told me he’d been in the hospital 2 months. I was concerned because I had not heard anything about it. What if he died? Would they tell me then? Would they even tell me that I didn’t have a father anymore? I’m scared to even trust the hospital anymore. What should I do guys?
