Thanks BJ and dede!

BJ, I'm glad you enjoyed the Grandpa Kent stuff. I was a little nervous about including such a heavy topic in my story, so I'm glad it's working for you.

dede, I'll notify Jon and Ellie about the trip to Brazil. Of course in 2008, they're about ten and eight, so Clark and Lois will have to come with. Any objections? Or, I suppose they can wait a few year and come by themselves. Whenever you're free. wink

And you're right, Jon can be a bit of a pain in the ass when he's hurt. He tends to draw into himself and ignore other people. But I guess that's just one of the things that makes him who he is.
