It's nice that this book connected with your feelings about him, though, and led you to learn more about your family.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-13470951437522839112013-07-08T12:41:16.341-07:002013-07-08T12:41:16.341-07:00"with ignorance comes fear and with fear come..."with ignorance comes fear and with fear comes people braiding ribbons into the manes of their moral high horses" I love this description, even if it's about sad things<br /><br />I'm sorry about your uncle. That is super sad. And I'm all sorts of afraid of the crippling sadness that will come with reading this. If/when I do read it, please don't be surprised if you get random emails where I blame you for making me read this and thus crying all the tears.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-89120583455885829792013-07-06T10:25:28.415-07:002013-07-06T10:25:28.415-07:00It was so weird...I think I was halfway through th...It was so weird...I think I was halfway through the book before it dawned on me that I sort of had that happen to me.

And I do it WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THESE THINGS ARE ABOUT (See: Philadelphia, Angels in America) and then they also kind of become the best things ever in the worst way?<br /><br /><br />Basically what I'm saying is, I want to read this, obviously. And also I'm sorry about your uncle. AND I'm trying really hard not to go 'he lived in San Francisco? How interesting, tell me more!' but oh shit, I just did it :s. Oh oh oh ALSO you are from Texas?
