Lupita,
I comment you for staying to help. Again, this may be a minor setback for you. It may be a good thing because it will give you some time to gain work experience and help you focus on what you really want to do at school. Once things become stable in your household, start talking about college again. Things will improve as your Dad's health improves. It is perfectly normal to be sad when something bad happens.
Depression does not always start with a sad event. Depression is different from sadness and very difficult to explain. Depression encompasses many other things besides being sad. Depression will affect many parts of your life like sleeping, decision making, eating, your ability to enjoy things, and it can happen when everything is going well and you should feel like you are on top of the world.
