I'm terrible at reports, so here's some unorganized notes frm the NYC Dndads live show

--- while having Charleston Chews shaked into hand, "listen..if i can't take candy frm strangers on the street in the middle of the night, why even bother leaving the house"

being complimented on my cosplay, by the most perfect Trudy ~♡ ~ "I've seen you on Tumblr!" -- uhhh... then you must be sick of seeing me by now < beat > -- wait.... if you don't have shoelaces, I don't know what am supposed to say?!?!??

Mad props and shout-out to all the cosplayers and cool nerds ~♡ The jingle bells on devil horns! Ron with their actual work business card! The mofo full giant mascot head Teeny!!

Being given not just a bracelet with lil skulls, but also a hair bow and "proud of you, kiddo" magnet ....im not crying...mascara just got in my eye...shut up

Apologies for goin full autism category 7 because my brain wants to ALL THE COMPLIMENTS but we aint at emoji-keysmash IRL stage of evolution and forget how to words....

WAFFLES vs PANCAKES Absolutely Beth May's lane and why is it socially acceptable to get a stack of pancakes but only 1 waffle. According to Anthony pancakes are just failed waffles. Matt derailed the entire conversation by bringing crepes and french toast into it

--- how in the fuck can Freddie pull off rocking out on the guitar this frellin hard while wearing slides and an Animal Crossing shirt (fittingly, DJ KK)

--- Apparently everyone's first impression when meeting Anthony was "this guy hates me", while Anthony's first impression of Beth May was "she looks sad". Freddie's first impression of everyone seems to be "this person's cool!"

--- Henry dad fact, and Will spent all day working on it: Oakvale is sometimes called The Big Apple...because one time someone found (saw?) a really big apple there

--- Glenn dad fact: the best place to go in NYC is.... the times sq Disney Store. At this point Freddie pulls out a Chip (beauty and beast) bubbles blower, starts blowing bubbles everywhere while talking about how Glenn would just need to figure out how to backwards engineer this blowing action, some tools, a couple wires and it will be a great bong! come on, Mrs Pots is your mom??

--- the adventure tonight was UFC, goin to rescue Paeden's friend Celery! the theme tho, was your inner child voice. All of them. Especially about 4 levels deep as hella high Glenn realizes he soooooo complex u gaiz....

--- Darryl asking how much does it cost to buy a child (300 gold). Then asking how much selling a Honda would earn (400) ......next 10 minutes are spent sorting out exactly _why_ is Darryl not selling the Honda Odyssey .... (its on lease, not fully paid off yet... so they'd only come out w/ 25gold or somethin)

--- UFC WEIGHT OFF! Anthony mentioning how now he can't get that close to her while Beth May is on her knees or he'll be canceled forever...so he's immediately made to gets on his knees too (and they do the angry head bump stare-off)

--- THE SLAP(s) HEARD AROUND THE WORLD!!! (context: instead of rolls... the LOUDEST SLAP was gonna win. Beth May slapped Anthony twice)

--- the smug way Anthony leaned back, kicked his feet on the desk and started outlining how this will go. Oh yes, they'll be using the mechanics he came up with before. For episode 3. But they completely destroyed all his plans back then by dropping pants in front of children.... --- Darryl Wilson immediately takes off his pants and starts twirling his axe

-- Matt counting out monster cards, 29 of them O_o; Beth points out then Ron will only fight 0 monsters and proceeds to roll stealth ...with Inspiration frm an earlier joke...

--- Anthony, "and if you all die...then you'll just be replaced by identical clones and the WIKI can stay the same"

your kuros are literally so smart by the way.

Im gonna assume youre talking about how I see Hilbert and Cheren HAHAH but yeah no, I like the idea of Hilbert remaining short and stubby while Cherens this oversized bean pole.. Hilberts gonna grab that poor man like a beanpole... His man wife guys...

Anyways, A more updated idea of how I see them(older. Btw,) I imagine Cheren stays suuuper skinny and tall. I am on team Cherens wasian(american and Korean):3c. I imagine that due to his job as a college professor and an elite four member, he doesn't really get much him time. By all means that boy is more stressed out than his students are about tests. I also have to give the biggest shout out to the Cheren community for the idea of him having long hair. Long haired Cheren 2 me is like an angel w wings... He is very beautiful to me. But anyways. In terms of dressing, I like to imagine that bw&bw2 took place mid 80s. so he dresses suuuper old school. He's wearing vests n shit. Maybe suspenders. Who knows. But I like to imagine that due 2 all his stress he doesn't each much :—(, hes got too much going on in that big foreheaded head of his guys... But he's okay^_^!! Hes been getting better! But he still remains the most unhygenic and messy neat freak ever. he drives himself crazy. He hates messes but his desk is a mess... But in the short run, in my eyes. older Cheren is nottt laid back. His ass worries about everything.

Now for Hilbert, I will forever see him as this short tempered guy who's like 5'6. He stopped growing at 12 so now he's forever tiny. Biancas a few inches taller than him but aside from that. He did NOT get the height from his parents. And this guy is definitely a redneck. I imagine his parents are divorced, but his dads clay, if that holds any logic. Idk, they seem related 2 me... Anyways, in terms of body types, I feel like hes a little pudgy and fatty, definitely a foodie. I don't think he really shaves much, I imagine his side burns are a lot more trimmed than Cherens how ever. But despite his temper. He's very laid back to Cheren. I also imagine he's a sorta druggie. Idk, I think he's a mellow pot head. Cheren probably hates the smell. But onto how I see Hilberts work! I imagine after he found N, he went to sinnoh for a bit for a degree in Pokemon research, so now he'll travel around and take pictures/get information on different Pokemon, meaning sometimes he's not really home. Which is good for Cheren! Because he only has to make dinner for one(and speaking of cooking. Hilbert cannot cook.) And in sense of fashion? I'd say Hilberts definitely Western grunge. He probably patches up his own clothes n stuff. Despite Cheren being an e4 member, they kinda have money problems. Idk. Im being realistic... OH and Hilbert has scars EVERYWHERE. Homeboy is NOT safe. His ass even popped a top surgery stitch! Cheren beats him w the broom tho. Its okay^_^

In terms of relationships. I'd say Cherens more affectionate in body language and doing small favors while Hilberts definitely affectionate in words/touch and gift giving. This man would definitely bring Cheren home a legendary. If he asked. Hes very hard headed. But I feel like they're very affectionate w each other, they definitely butt heads. 100%. I do not believe they are always agreeing. Cheren would definitely go "man I hate that stupid brute. Im gonna kiss him on the lips." Which is exactly what happened. And in terms of marriage, Hilbert proposed, they had a nice little wedding, the cake was dropped but they improvised w something else. Idk.

Anyways yeah no, this is definitely the longest post ever on kuroshipping. Im normal about them. Anyways, here r my hcs & thoughts!!!

supernatural s14e19 jack in the box (w. eugenie ross-leming, brad buckner)

foreboding episode name. also rolling my eyes again that they decided to do hallucifer 2.0 with jack

sigh i am not really up for mary's wake today. next day. i tried to watch jason kelce's retirement press conference, which was so emotionally taxing, i decided watching this episode would be better. watching someone trying to not cry when their entire body is fighting it is so hard. so hard. i made it a minute before my chest hurt so much i had to stop. anyway.

well i did yell at sam for burning mary's picture, but this the same one but bigger so i guess it was fine. weird choice, but fine.

SAM Hey. Uh, most everybody's headed out, but Bobby's gonna stick around. I thought maybe we could open that scotch Ketch left and hang out, talk about Mom. DEAN "Talk about Mom"? SAM Yeah. DEAN Isn't that what we've been doing?

dean handling it as well as expected

quick sob in the woods to take the edge off so he can go back to being emotionally unavailable for sam. i get it. my personal m.o. is to go silently sob somewhere and then come back and be able to have a cool, calm and collected rational conversation about things. wouldn't recommend that either

SAM But they're real, right? We know that Mom's not sitting on a cloud playing a harp. She's in a good place. Or she's in a great place. She's with Dad. DEAN Hmm. You know what else? There wasn't enough left of her to even try to bring her back.

i have been thinking about that a lot lately. knowing about heaven etc, if it weren't so busted and broken down, what's the big deal if someone dies. especially if they're a "special" case soulmate type so they get another actual human to be blissful with. like the only real-real is on earth, they say, but the alternative sounds awfully compelling

dumah having jack turn a heretic into a pillar of salt, hokay

DUMAH Words can't begin to express how Sam and Dean will feel. Now here is the real test. We need more angels. You're not God. You can't just make them out of thin air. But if a human were predisposed to it, maybe you could take their soul and forge them into one of us.

LOL what. they got duped by lucifer when he said he could make more angels, but i guess they've been working the problem

handy we have this special box ready for eternal torture of archangels and maybe juiced up nephilims? who knows

DEAN No. Well, I mean, I want Zeppelin to get back together. But what I need -- What we need is to stop Jack. Big difference. But here's the deal. We both got to sign off on it. This might be our only shot, and if he even catches a whiff that this is a scam, he's off into the wind. SAM Exactly. And how do you think he's not gonna know something's up? DEAN Because you're gonna be so damn sincere. SAM Me? DEAN Mm-hmm. SAM Why me? DEAN Because you've always been in his corner, all right? You're his go-to guy. Sam, if you reach out, he'll come. If I do it, after what happened to Mom, I could lose it. I will lose it.

how about we cool off, take a minute or week or four, and think about this first. but dean wants to do it literally right now. great.

did not see castiel ganking dumah coming, all righty.

SAM So what do we do now? Just go on with Jack locked up in there forever?

i mean yeah it's reversible but this is the most accelerated plotline ever. like an instant pot to turn jack into lucifer

SAM You know, I never thought it would end like this with Jack. DEAN Sammy, we knew from the beginning it was a long shot with him. SAM Yeah. Yeah, but long shots are kind of our thing.

one day you've got three dads who love you and then you fuck up and they're locking you in a box

DEAN He's locked up, safe. He's in the Ma'lak box. CASTIEL No!

please, we need some pushback on dean about this.

DEAN He agreed to it. Because deep down, I think he knows it's best. CASTIEL No. You're doing what Dumah -- You are manipulating him.

tell him, cas. i hate when they have dean be like this

all right. surprise, surprise. it didn't go well.

i haven't finished an episode this quickly in ages.

I can see how if eddie would have a retail job it would kill him? It killed my mental health so much work and no pay? And eddie would hate every second of it but it's a safe job he isn't in imidiate danger and doesn't have to perform darring rescues. But it would kill him mentally but in his mind it would be just a constant 'it's for chris so i will be safe and he will still have a parent' but chris notices he knows his dad isn't happy

like yes 100% being in retail would absolutely make this man so miserable butttt, i know applying logic in fandom fun isn't like the most fun thing but i have thoughts 🤪 "realistically" his job needs to be more specialized, where he can use the skills that he has mostly because of the financial aspect. previous to firefighting he had 3 jobs to make enough for his life in texas, and now i can imagine there are more expenses now that chris is in school, carla, and LA cost of living ....a retail job would not cover that. so either he goes back to working multiple jobs and has little time for chris resulting in him being miserable still, and having that mentality of "its for chris", but idk that he would do that again, backslide that far ig? which is why i think hes gonna be at the academy. cause that brings a whole new level of angst, its like having everything he loves right at his fingertips, he'll be teaching a maneuver and have a quip about it and turn to say it to Buck and he's not there, he's not even in the simulations, he's timing them. he's watching people fall in love with the thing he so desperately wants to be doing. but "its for chris". idk how the clipboards work, but what if the record holders are on there so they know if someone breaks one, so he has "BUCKLEY" just burning a hole in the paper every goddamn day. But then, no matter what job he does have, Chris has another "you could be dead next year" moment, cause i firmly believe that 5x10 is not the end of that, and eddie is confused cause he's not out on the street anymore, because i will bang pots and pans and be on my soapbox forever that chris does not separate firefighter from dad like eddie does, and he lost his mother to an unfortunate accident, so he is still worried, still petrified of losing him. and i think that is what eddie needs to understand and take away from this whole thing in terms of what is "for chris". i feel like the specificity of "im leaving the 118" also supports him working at the academy or another faction of the department. Basically, i think whatever job he does end up having will result in a similar mentality of "for chris", when he needs to realize that chris is older and can have more input on what that means.

I WAS THINKING freds been spending the night at fps trailer a lot and going down to the whyte wyrm with him during the day to play pool or whatever (fp keeps him away from it at night for as long as possible but still) and fps friends at first are like whooooooo is this fucking square. jones wtf. but fred is so relentlessly friendly and he makes them all breakfast at fps trailer all of the time and hes so wide eyed and eager to listen and help and finally they soften up to him and accept him as one of their own. so then sometimes he and fp and fps hoodlum buddies are hanging out and freds inviting them to come over and hear his band play or saying oh youre having bike trouble?? come over to my house my dad has the tool you need in the garage... or theyre going to the convenience store or down to the quarry to do some dumb shit and freds like oh lemme stop by my house first i need to grab some money or whatever....

so then these dirty ass rat boys are hanging around freds nice northside neighbourhood and he rarely brings them IN the house cuz he knows if artie sees someone in an actual gang jacket in his kitchen sparks are gonna fly but most of the serpents are hungry all the time and well freds parents have a full kitchen in there..... so more often than not he'll leave them out in the yard chilling and go grab some snacks and drinks and maybe even fix sandwiches and bring them back out to them.... and then they'll all be loitering around eating and talking and the garage/driveway feel like neutral territory so maybe they'll shoot some hoops or fred will be tinkering with one of their bikes and meanwhile the nosy ass northside neighbours are watching through the curtains SHOCKED and you can best bet thats getting back to artie at some point....

and if arties HOME cuz its a weekend and he looks out the window and sees some random dirty teen skulking in his driveway he is PISSED!!!! hes so close to putting the hose on them he doesnt want them out there how can he relax in his own home with those randos hanging around and how does fred know their intentions what if theyre scoping the place out to come back and steal shit later... he does not trust. he is beyond pissed they even know freds home address like... that is not safe!!! and he just knows they're corrupting his son with their pot and loud music and that is a slippery slope into becoming a college dropout with a rap sheet and ending up in the morgue after some joyride or game of chicken.... he knows what teenagers do 😤

Artie is such a grumpy old man cjdjdnfjnd I love this 🥰

Asking For Help

Requested by @rororo06 do a Peter parker x stark!reader where the reader ends up doing drugs and stuff and Peter and Tony and the rest of the avengers stage an intervention.

I've never experience drug myself so if for some reason I offended people please forgive me.

Warning: Drug use, depression, Cursing, and death

(Y/n)'s POV

Never in my life did I though I would go through this direction. Doing drug and smoking weed and pot. But then when the people you care the most start putting their life on the line you tend to change. It was hard enough that I could lose my father to anything now I also have to worry about my friends and my boyfriend.

It was too much for me. I ended up getting depressed and messed up in the head as months go by. They never seem to notice. Not my dad or my boyfriend, but my friends outside of the avenger did. But then everything got worst at the day when I lost someone I looked up to. I manage to hack F.R.I.D.A.Y. and got her to stay quiet about my drug use.

"Baby? You okay?" I heard Peter called causing me to blink a few time before looking at him. "Sorry what?" I asked with a small frown causing him to look at me in worry. "I was wondering if your hungry. You look like you haven't eat for days." He said causing my fingures to twitch as I rolled my eyes at him. "Since when do you care?" I mumbled getting up as I heard the door open.

"I always care." Peter said as I walk to the living an put on my shoes. "Ha, seems you don't fucking show it." I snarled as I saw my dad walk in. "What's going on?" Tony asked as I rolled my eyes again and grab my bag. "None of you damn business!" I growled going to the stair and going down. "(Y/n)! Get back here!" Tony yelled as I continued to descend from the stair ignoring him. "Don't you have scummy people to fucking save. Go do that and fucking ignore me like you always do Stark." I yelled as I heard only my own footsteps going down.

Once I made it to the first floor I quickly left the tower went to and underground subway. Once I know the coast is clear I quickly text my friend then throw away my phone. I pulled up my hoodie as I walked toward a Cemetery were my friend was buried. It was quiet as I pulled out a joint an lit it.

"I miss you Ray." I mumbled as I read the head stone. 'Ray Samantha Blake' born 2010 died 2017. She was only 7 years old and was helping me with my addiction tell she died. I can just imagine how disappointed she is of me right now. "I know I fuck up. God I wish I didn't have to go through this shit. But with you gone and everyone just putting their life on the line. I can't help but just worry and feel fucking scared that one day one or all of them won't come home." I said as I throw away the joint that just wasted.

"You smoke that thing?" I heard my friend asked causing me to sigh as I was looking at Ray stone. "No. I can't really bring myself to do so in front of her." I said softly as I felt him sat down next to me. "I know how much you hate asking for help." He started causing me to chuckle softly. "But I need it." I said softly causing him to smile at me.

"If you want. I can let you stay with me. Watch over the kids since I know rehab isn't gonna help you." He said causing me to grin at him. "Your just saying that so you and your wife can have another kid." I said causing him to blush. "No..." He trailed off as he helped me up. "I probably have to go home. Fuck I can't believe I talk like that to my dad and Peter." I mumbled causing my friend to smile sadly.

"It wasn't you (Y/n). Thats what drugs do to a person." He said as we left the cemetery and got into his car. "I can just imagine they might stage an intervention." I said as he buckled my seat belt and got into the driver seat. "I got you some ibuprofen for your headache." He said as I whine holding my head.

"Thanks." I mumbled as I took two and drank some water. "Probably should go back at the tower and pack my things." I mumbled causing him to smile slightly. "You want me to come with you?" He asked causing me to nod my head. "You can stay here. If I don't come back in 30 then you can come get me." I told him as I got out.

"(Y/n). Mr. Stark wants a meeting." F.R.I.D.A.Y. said causing me to sigh softly as I went to the stair that lead to my room. "I don't have time right now." I said as I felt my fingures twitch. "Mr. Stark said he'll ground you for life." F.R.I.D.A.Y. said causing me to growl. "I don't fucking care! He can do what ever the fuck he wants! It's not like his gonna fucking listen to me even if I'm his only kid." I snarled angerly as I open the door to my floor and went inside my room.

I quickly pack my cloths in a bag only to hear my door opened and lots of footsteps. "Where do you think your going?" I heard causing me to get even more annoyed. "Away from you thats for fucking sure." I snapped as I turned to see the whole Avenger here.

"What's wrong with you?" Rhode asked causing me to turn around and glare at him. "I'm a drug addict thats whats fucking wrong with me!" I snapped causing their eyes to widen. "I'm fucking tired of thinking that one day, one of you won't come back home or even all of you. Then what?" I asked as I felt tears rolled down my cheeks as I sat down on the edge of my bed.

"I'm tired of having endless nightmare of you guys not coming home and that I couldn't do anything about." I said as I clench my fist. "How long?" I heard causing me to look up and see Peter's pain faced. "Seven years now." I said softly causing everyone to intake a breath. "Why don't you..." Bruce started causing me to look at him. "Go to rehab? I've tried. Multiple fucking times. It not helping me." I said as I look at the time.

"Then where are you going?" Natasha asked as Peter sat next to me. "A friends place. I have an idea on how I can stop but I don't know it will work." I said as I slowly took Peter's hand. He quickly intertwine our fingures together and gently kissed my hand. "I did manage to stop once. For a whole year. I meet a little girl. Ray. She helped me." I started as I gently squeez his hand. "But she died and I fell back to using again." I added as Tony got down on his knees in front of me.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Tony asked softy causing me to lean toward him and place my forehead on his shoulder. "And have you get the constant fear that I might overdose when your busy saving the world. That though never crossed my mind." I said softly.

"You could've still told us." Steve said causing me to look up at him. "You guys have to many thing to fight. I think this is my battle to fight on my own." I said softly as I gently nudge my nose on Tony's neck. "After all I'm a Stark. I don't asked for help." I added causing them to smile slightly once I pulled away from Tony.

"(Y/n) You okay?" I heard causing me to chuckled as I look up to see my friend. "Yeah. Help me carry my bag?" I asked moving pass the group to give my friend my bag. "Of course." He saod getting two bags and left the room. "I would ask you guys if you want to come but," I trailed off looking away from them. "You wouldn't know when to have a vacation." I added softly as I saw pain flash in all their faces.

"You guys can come a visit. If you ever can." I mumbled as I went to hug Tony and place a gentle kiss on Peter's cheek.

Ava & Buster

Ava: Are you lot en-route? Buster: 'Course Buster: But we've had one foot out the door for like half an hour, honestly Ava: Good, 'cos I have presents Buster: Yeah?

We depart on time & land at Raleigh-Durham International on schedule! We pick our bags up & hale a Cab!He asks: ~Where too Sir?~ I give him the location! He replies: ~Very well Sir!~ It's about a 40 minute drive to her Parents house. We arrive at about 5:00pm. I pay the Cabbie tip him & grab our bags. Her parents are standing on the steps, looking very happy to see their daughter:

7:00pm

Mrs Covington invites us into the Dining room. She's prepared a meal of Pot Roast, potatoes, Corn on the Cob, Fresh Baked bread, Sweet Tea & Apple pie topped with Vanilla Ice cream for dessert! A Traditional Southern meal & delicious if I say so myself!

After we eat, her Father & I retire to the Living room, Mary & her Mother clears the table & proceed to do dishes. JR. goes into the Den to watch TV. I take this time & plead my case! ~Sir, I would like to to ask you for your Daughter's hand in Marriage? I love her beyond my own life, & want nothing more than to take care of her from this time forward! I promise you to hold, to have, to honor & keep her unto death do we part!~ He looks at me, stands up, lights a pipe and answers: ~Harold, how can I ever say no? Yes, you have my blessings. Just please take care of my baby? She's an only child & all we've got!~ I say: ~Yes Sir, you have my word! Thank you Sir!~ Mary & her Mother walk into the room, look at us & they both simultaneously ask: What? William says: ~Laura, this young man has just asked for our daughter's hand in Marriage & I've given him my blessings~ Mary's Mother's eyes open wide, she raises her eyebrows & says: ~I think that's just wonderful! Congratulations both of you, I'm so happy for you!~ Her Father pulls out a bottle of Brandy he's been saving for a special occasion & says: ~Let's have a warm one & celebrate?~ It's 10:00pm & I ask: Has anyone seen JR.? Mary answers: ~Yes Harry, he fell asleep on the couch in the Den; so I took him upstairs & put him in my bed. He can sleep with me tonight!~

(Mary has already given me fair warning, that we'll have to stay in separate rooms.) I reply: ~Very well Darling, if he bothers you, l'll take him in with me! My Son is quite taken with Mary I announce, he loves her very much; as do I!~ We go to bed at Midnight. I look in on JR. & kiss Mary Goodnight & say: ~Darling, I love you beyond my own life, sleep well my Darling!~

Mary replies: ~I love you so much Harry. You sleep good too!~ I go to the Guest room, say a prayer of thanks & go to sleep.

He's falling asleep on his feet: Mary whispers: ~Come on my Little man, time to go home!~ I can see how much she loves that boy & JR loves her. She picks him up, kisses his forehead & lays him down securely in the back seat. I run around to the passenger side, open the door for her: Mary mentions: ~Harry, you're such a Gentleman!~ She kisses me. I close the door & run around to the Driver's side. We head home! We arrive back at Mary's about 1:40pm. I grab her bags, take them to her door & return for!

I couldn't help but to think of how decent & kind her parents were. How much they love her! I'll talk to Mary tonight about setting the date! Neither of our parents are getting younger & besides, I want JR to know her parents. After all; They will become his Grandparents too! I'm thinking about bringing Julia's parents up to see him! It's been a while! I don't want him to lose touch with her parents either.They're part of him.They're also a part of my family. A connection to Julia...

I call Nancy on the way home & have her meet us at the house. We arrive & she's sitting on the steps: She greets me: ~Hi Mr Newport, how was your trip~ I reply: ~ Hi Nancy, trip was good, thanks.

Thought you might like this~ Nancy observes: ~Almond Cocoa & Chai Spice, Thank you Mr Newport. Sounds delicious. Thank you so much for thinking of me!~ I reply: ~Don't mention it. It's my pleasure, I hope you enjoy it. JR's tired & will probably sleep a while. Thanks for coming on short notice! Nancy replies: ~That's okay Mr Newport. I love watching him!

I say: ~Thanks again, got to go, I'll be back later!

I'm back at Mary's at 6:00pm, knock & she opens the door & pulls me inside! Wraps her arms around my neck & kisses me like we've been apart for eternity! She guides me once again to the bedroom. & tells me she wants me now!!!! Arousing me right off! We make love over & over & over again: I say:

“Julia’s Father”

I wake to the sound of someone knocking on my door! I open the door, a young man dressed in a messenger's uniform is standing there:

-Messenger- ~Western Union Sir, you have an urgent Telegram!~ I take the Telegram & tip the messenger..... I read it, (Bad News)!!!!!! Julia's Father is in the Hospital & not expected to survive! I right away call my Mother-in-law.

I explain: ~We'll be back on Wednesday! I love you Mary!~

Mary observes~ I know Harry, I love you more!~ Next I call my parents! I let them know we set a date, then gave them the bad news! (They've become rather close) I told her we'll be flying to Shreveport in the morning, so JR can see his Grandfather!

I wake JR. up at 4:30am & get him dressed. The bags are already packed. Our flight departs at 7:30am. We leave the house at 5:00am, stop at McDonald's and buy JR. a Pancake meal & milk! We continue on to the Airport. I park the Beamer, we go through security & check the bags. We board the plane at 7:00am & take off on time! We land at Dallas Love Field on schedule.

We unload our bags & head for MD Anderson Cancer Center, where Reverend Marcantel’s admitted. We arrive at 4:45pm & directly to his room. JR is not sure what's going on, he sees his Grandfather hooked up to machines and breathing apparatuses! JR asks: ~What's wrong with my Papaw Daddy?~ I explain: ~He's sick Son!~ Mom's asleep in a chair next to his bed. We walk over to his bed, his eyes are open & he knows we're here: I say: ~Hello Dad, how ya doing?~ It takes all he has to smile, but he's happy we're here! I lift JR up so he can kiss his Grandfather! JR greets him: ~Hi Papaw, I miss you. I love you Papaw!~ He kisses his forehead, & I put him down! He's pouting, sad about his Papaw! My Mother-in-law opens her eyes & says: ~Harold, good to see you Son, & there you are my John Ross!~ She picks him up, kisses his cheek ,& hugs him like there's no tomorrow! She puts him down & says: ~Oh Harry, what will I do without him. I've loved him forever! We've been together since I was 16. Oh God, I love him so!~ I observe: ~I know Mom, & so does Dad!, I didn't even know he was sick~ She explains:

~It was about six months after our little girl was buried that he received his diagnoses! You know how he is Harry, he didn't want to be a burden on anybody! I think he stopped fighting it. He missed her so! They did all they could, but the Cancer was just too progressive until there were no more options. He's got maybe a couple days or less Harry!~ I say: I'm so sorry Mom, is there anything I can do?~ She states: ~Harry, you're here & John Ross is here. That's enough. I keep praying he'll be okay, but I know God is calling him home. He says he's ready to touch the face of God & to be with his little girl again!~ My Father-in-law passes on Wednesday night at 8:13pm. We've made funeral arrangements & he'll be buried on Saturday afternoon.
