WARNING: cancer, death

I hope I make you cry.😂😂😂

Tears ran down Mitch's pale face as he folded the yellow shirt with the fire truck on it. He carefully put the piece of clothing into a small box, which held small figurines of dinosaurs and airplanes. He gently picked up a T-Rex and pterodactyl, which was his adopted son Ronan's favorite toy. He put the small toy in the box and continued to put the rest of the clothes and toys into boxes. Packing the stuff was difficult for him and he began to cry more. He laid down on the Spongebob blanket and started to let the tears stain the soft fabric.

Why his son?

He was only three.

Why not him?

He wanted his son to bury him, not the other way around.

He grabbed a small pillow that smelt like Ronan and hugged it close to him. He didn't notice that the door opened or that somebody walked in until an extra weight was added on the bed. A soft hand brushed down his back and he looked up to see Scott, who had tears running down his face.

"Hey," Scott said quietly. He looked around the room, whose walls were painted blue and had paintings of Spongebob and all the undersea critters in the cartoon. He wanted to hug and kiss his son one more time." Why him?"

"I don't know," Mitch said quietly and he sat up, putting his chin on his knees." I've been asking myself that since he's been diagnosed."

"Kirstie, Avi, and Kevin are coming by soon," Scott said, wanting to change the conversation. Mitch nodded." Do you remember when we adopted him?"

"Yeah," Mitch replied, a small smile appearing on his face." I remember being so nervous. He was a comical four month year old."

"He was also a comical three year old," Scott said, watching Mitch snuggle the pillow. Scott looked down at his lap, sighing sadly." Remember how he always played dinosaurs?"

"Yeah," Mitch replied and a flashback occurred.

FLASHBACK

"Daddy," yelled Ronan, jumping on Mitch's lap. Mitch laughed and sat up so his son will be comfortable. His son held up the T-Rex and pterodactyl, a smile on his face." Play dinosaurs with me!"

"Okay, Ro," Mitch said, gently grabbing the T-Rex from his son. He then made a growling noise." Rawr."

Ronan squealed and quickly jumped off the seat. Mitch stood up and chased after the younger boy. Ronan giggled as Mitch caught him.

"Daddy," he said, giggling. Mitch let out an adorable laugh himself." I'm supposed to win!"

"Why is that?" Mitch asked and Ronan put on a serious face and then shrugged his shoulders. Mitch laughed and sat on the ground, pulling his son on his lap. It stayed quiet between son and father until Ronan asked a innocent question.

"Daddy?" Ronan asked. Mitch nodded." Do you think pterodactyls fly people to Heaven?"

"Oh," Mitch said, quietly. Ronan's big blue eyes looked up at him innocently." You know what, hon? I think that God has a pterodactyl fly little boys and a Pegasus fly little girls to Heaven. Or sometimes, the pterodactyl will fly little girls and the pegasus will fly the little boys."

"Oh," Ronan said, happily. He then snuggled into his father's neck." I love you, Daddy."

"I love you, too," Mitch said, smiling."
