He's still sharp as hell even if the body can't keep up as quickly anymore. Sucks to see him in his current state but I can't say I would be surprised if he somehow pulled a miracle out of his ass to keep on living.
Unfortunately I think he’s at the end of his rope. He’s dropping a lot of weight (seeing him swamped by his jacket killed me) and he has that thousand-yard stare from time to time. Considering the cancer is eating him up so bad that he has been losing bone mass to the point of breaking a pelvis, I’m shocked that he’s still up and around.
To see him pimped out like this in such a clearly sickened and weak state as well as the follow campaign just feels grotesque and ghoulish.
I imagine Paul has a better idea of what he wants his legacy to be than any of us do. Nobody forced him to sit down with GT, who has about four times the audience as Paul. GT does not need to do an interview for clickbait with Paul. If anything, him making sure to bring Roy out on camera makes me think he’s probably sincere about wanting the Harrell legacy to continue through his brother.
Paul has been doing his last few videos leaning on a cane. I have a suspicion he doesn’t much care that we see him as a completely different man than the stud he was just a year ago. Like Paul, my neighbor wasted away quick from cancer. He was a fit, strong older gentleman one minute and a frail, sickly old man the next.
I’ll always remember my neighbor being the strong, grandfather-like influence he was when I was young, but I’ll never forget how he was when I had to pick him up after his fall: he hadn’t missed a lick of his old self, making a joke of no longer being able to get up on his own. He died strong and with dignity.
I’m proud of Paul for coming out and showing himself such as he is. Letting other people see you at your weakest, when you are possibly weeks from death’s door, takes guts that I don’t think I would have. We need to be reminded of our short time on this journey we’re on and God bless Paul for helping us remember that.
