I just recently came upon this thread and I love to read stories like this about Ennis & Jack. If a movie could be made out of your stories - what a movie it would be!!

Jack was home alone. Lureen was out with her girlfriends, and Bobby was at school. He took a personal day from work to stay at home and cool out. Jack needed some alone time. November, and the weather was turning chilly. In a very short while the temps would dip down below the 30s. Jack was ready for it. He enjoyed the cold.
Jack sat, cross-legged, on his red sofa; a cup of steaming coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. He spread his favorite blanket across his lap and started to settle in and get rested before Bobby came clamoring in from school. Jack was content in the moment, but something was missing. Actually, something, someone was always missing. Jack placed his brew on the coffee table and pulled the drapes open a bit. He watched the gentle winds blow through trees already turning bright gold, brown green and copper. The sight was bewitching, transformative. It reminded him of the last time he saw Ennis Del Mar.
The last time he was with Ennis was April in the mountains, and the thaw had just begun. Jack considered asking Ennis why they were always in the friggin cold, but he just couldn’t do it. Back in the present Jack was glad he had the forethought to refrain from suggesting they vacation in a warm clime. As Jack pulled his favorite blanket closer, he was reminded of how fond he is of the mountains in winter and early spring. Is there anything finer than a blizzard, a warm tent and Ennis Del Mar’s smile? Jack was grateful for the time alone with his coffee, a snuggly blanket and thoughts of Ennis to keep him warm and content.

“Good work, baby girl!” Did Jack hear that right? He looked at his father-in-law as he adored his new grandson. He couldn’t begrudge a father’s pride in his daughter’s handiwork. After all, giving birth is hard work, and could have maimed his child for life, or even killed her. “But I’m the father!” Jack thought as he watched Mr. Newsome practically drool over Lureen and Little Bobby. “Didn’t I have something to do with it?”
Jack stood still and tried to put on a happy face. His thought turned to Ennis, and even though he wasn’t there, Jack could see him. Ennis sat right beside Lureen, his eyes moist with pride at the arrival at Jack’s new son. “Why aren’t you here with me, Ennis?” Jack thought. “I want you to hold my child in your arms and share this with me. I know you would tell me that I did something right – that I did good. Ennis, why aren't you here?”
“Rodeo will go get em!” It was Mr. Newsome, and he threw a set of keys at Jack. Jack missed them, of course. He reached down to retrieve the keys and head off to his father-in-law’s car to bring in a case of formula. And after that? He needed to get ahold of Ennis. His life wasn’t working out anymore.
