A #letter from my #uncle to my #dad about the #death of their #parents. #TearJerker
I know that this isn’t very PC in that it is saying that men aren’t masculine if they aren’t taller than a woman or something like that, buuuut….
I think it’s adorable.
Mostly just because I have a strange obsession with short males.
My dad is 5’6 and my mom is 5’0. They’re freaking adorable.
My boyfriend is 5’5 and I’m 5’2. We’re pretty cute too if I do say so myself.

My dad asked me to proofread the eulogy. This part really got me.
In many ways, my father’s world came to an end in 1982 when our mother passed away. He quit teaching and largely withdrew. Politics became his new passion and he loved bantering at the Bagel Barrel. For over 30 years my Dad would write to me at least once a week, often railing against one political wrong or another. No matter where I was in the world;Italy, Panama, or the Middle East, my Dad’s letters were a comforting constant, which I will miss.
My grandpap waited thirty years, all the while still madly in love with my grandmother. I’m not the most religious person in the world, but I truly believe that somewhere, somehow they’re finally reunited. <3
I don’t care that Tom Hanks is 56, a mere 3 years older than my dad.
I would still totally sleep with him.
SRSLY.
On vegetarianism:
My best friend's dad: So why don't you eat small amounts of meat when you want to?
Me: But that's the thing - I don't want to.
My best friend's dad: Not even a little bit?
Me: ...
Even tho’ I feel that you are not living up to your full potential, I’m still proud that you’re navigating your way through life in your own unique, Analicia way! Strange as you may be, you’re a wonderful young woman. I’m so glad that you are my kid. I love you.
