On the Saturday of the Ole Miss game I went to a cookout with some friends from church. Beforehand, I was only told that there would be food and football, which is all it takes to make me happy. When I got there, there was a precious older couple making lots of good food. As I sat around and noticed pictures around the house, there was one person in them that kept standing out. Above the mantle, there was a Daniel Moore painting of John Parker Wilson throwing a touchdown pass to the famous Julio Jones in the 2008 Georgia "blackout" football game. It turns out that the man and lady in the kitchen were John Parker Wilson's grandparents. When John Parker played quarterback at Alabama I was in elementary school and had the BIGGEST crush on him. Once I found out that I was at his grandparent's house, I had to tell them of my love for him. I began having an interpersonal conversation with his grandma. I told her that I couldn't believe where I was and told her that I used to have a huge crush on him. She then began telling stories of when he was in school and the fun they had supporting him at games. She said she's surprised she's still alive after all the arguments she got into with fans who trash talked her grandson. I told her about myself, and she said I can come back anytime I want.
