it just came to me. my pops LOVED movies, loved all the marvel joints and would ask me questions about certain ones.

as he got older and his body dealt with the ravaging effects of cancer plus other ailments, he asked me about black panther, knowing he wouldn’t see it.

i saw black panther 3x and the first time was with @SimplyCecilia. geeked afterwards was an understatement. I got back home and told my pops about it cause eventually, he’d see it at home or something.

my pops passed three weeks after black panther shook up the world.

and every time I saw black panther after he passed, that scene where t'challa talks to t'chaka, and they discuss life and death… i see my old man.
