my uncle

my mom's youngest brother, Ali, or chotai mumma (literally translated as 'small uncle') as we call him, recently had twins (he is a twin himself as well).

The last time I saw him was when he got married in 2004.

He now has three kids.

My mom had played a great role in his parenting because my grandmother was a single mother of ten; my dad and him were really close friends as well. As the cycle went, he played a great role in my childhood, starting from giving me a blood transfusion when I was born. Although I have barely spent any of my 'adult' life with him, there are times when I miss him a lot and wish that I could continue the cycle and play a role in the upbringing of his children.

maybe, one day.

but for now I just want to express this much.
