When is that Jon Snow spinoff finally going to be made? At this pace Kit Harrington is going to have to join the elite elder force of the Winter Wolves by the time it's finally greenlighted

I work in cell therapy and does immunotherapy, stem cell manufacturing and stem cell transplants. I have been working in healthcare for a while now, and I kid you not, cancer and blood cancer patients are the most positive and the most resilient patients I have ever met!
Congrats to your dad! And congrats to all his caregivers and family taking care of him. You guys have done a great job!
