So tonight my brother IMs me:
"HEY!!! Are you there?? I got some tough news for you. I'm going to call you."
I'm thinking, "Oh great, he's going to call me about another work furlough."
He calls, I pick up.
So...Hey. Our uncle in California? Well...he died earlier this afternoon. - my brother
What? How?? - I asked.
He was riding his bike. You know, one of those three-wheeled bikes with the flag? Yeah... - He said.
Damn...*silence*... damn... - me
Yeah. - him
*sigh* - meIt's an unfortunate and shit way to die.
I called my father to tell him I love him. He cried a little. Because I never tell him that... Not because I don't love him but because we don't throw that phrase around the house very often or at all.
I'm not as stoic as people think I am.
