Happy Birthday. Yesterday.

Happy (belated) Birthday to my Uncle. (it was yesterday)

I want to tell you a little about him. I will try to make this short, and with out crying. Both are doubtful.

Maybe if I do bullet points it will go faster...

• He was my Godfather.
• He was my Mom's brother.
• He was the Uncle I was closest to.
• My mom's dad died when she was 3, and since my gramma was single, she had no money to give her a wedding, my Uncle used all his ties to get a hall, so he could walk his Q down the isle.
• Him and his wife had 4 kids.
• Those cousins were like brothers and a sister to me.
• My aunt and uncle drank and smoked. alot.
• My cousins all got into trouble. Either with drugs, drinking, gangs, and pregnancy.
• My aunt gave up. She decided she didn't want to live. So she stopped eating. And just drank. And drank. And smoked. Then my cousin, she got the flu, so my week aunt got pneumonia. She died.
• My cousin found out the day she died she was pregnant.
• A year and a half later my uncle couldn't take life with out my aunt. So he drank. and drank. and smoked. And fell down on the sidewalk. He was bleeding from his mouth. He died.
• My 4 cousins. They are kinda lost now.
• One of my cousins is just overly righteous. He's got kids, but the girlfriend is a mean person. drama.
• One of my cousins is a drugy. He got mad at one (he has two) of his baby mama's and drove a station wagon (drunk) through her boyfriends house. He got beat bad by the boyfriend. Then he went to jail for 6 months. But he got out and went off with the carnival (again)
• The only daughter, has her son, and just had another in June. I just found out today she is going to give them away. I don't think I could ever give away my children. No matter if I lived in a box.
• The other cousin. My favorite. (the picture above is from his civil union to his partner. I got to walk down the isle with my uncle!) he sadly is in jail. Three DUI's from about 10 years ago caught up with him. He got pulled over for a random thing, and found out he had a bunch o' warrants. That sucks.
• Oh and due to my Uncles passing 15 months ago. My mom, the Queen's other brother, and douche bag sister refuse to talk to my mom. They said that their brother died because of her, and me. (long story) We got the hint. So within' two years my mom lost her whole family.
• Sad isn't it.
• Happy Birthday Uncle Jim. I love you and I miss you. So does your Q. Gack.
• Hope it's better up there, then it was down here for you.
