FOR
A
long
time
,
a
big
part
of
my
identity
was
?
____________________
uncle
.
?
?
It
wasn't
that
I
____________________
them
.
?
Once
,
about
a
____________________
years
ago
,
?
I
listened
to
her
,
?
As
I
poured
out
that
Coke
,
I
watched
Chris
and
Laura
,
mouths
open
,
eyes

Here
was
crazy
Uncle
Randy
completely
rejecting
adult
rules
.
I
ended
up
being
so
glad
I'd
spilled
that
____________________
.
Because
later
in
the
weekend
,
little
Chris
got
the
flu
and
threw
up
all
over
the
backseat
.
He
didn't
feel
____________________
.
He
was
relieved
;
he
had
already
watched
me
____________________
the
car
.
He
knew
it
would
be
OK
.
Whenever
the
kids
were
with
me
,
we
had
just
two
rules
:
1

No

Whatever
we
do
together
,
don't
tell
Mom
.
Not
telling
Mom
made
everything
we
did
into
a
____________________
adventure
.
Even
the
____________________
could
feel
magical
.
On
most
____________________
,
?
The
three
of
us
liked
making
____________________
together
.
?
I've
watched
Laura
and
Chris
grow
into
____________________
young
adults
.
She's
now
twenty
-
one
and
he's
nineteen
.
These
days
,
I
am
more
grateful
than
ever
that
I
was
a
part
of
?
So
my
time
with
Chris
and
Laura
has
become
even
more

?
Recently
,
I
asked
both
Chris
and
Laura
?
____________________
fun
they
can
think
of
.
?
.
Maybe
Chris
and
Laura
can
take
him
to
a
natural
history

?
And
Chloe
loves
to
____________________
.
.
.
.
I
also
want
my
____________________
and
____________________
to
tell
my
kids
a
few
things
.
?
