My Uncle Gene died two nights ago. I'm devastated. I have never lost anyone I cared so much for. When my grandpa died I cried because I knew how my grandma felt about him, but I never really felt his loss.
I always talked about my Mexican uncle. Because it's funny for the whitest white girl ever to say that and because I loved him. My family is not an easy family to love. We're not easy to fit in with. And he did both. He made us all love him.
