My First Tears For Rat Year

On Thursday morning, the first day of Rat Year, I shed my first tears.

My 3rd uncle (my father's younger brother) came to visit us. I've not seen him for a long time. As slightly "lunatic" as usual. His other brothers have forsaken him and he sought comfort from my father. My 3rd uncle was born with a defect in his brain. His IQ is lower than average but he is smart enough to keep himself alive.

Then 3rd uncle said something wrong that infuriated my father. Shouts between them puctuated the morning silence. Father eventually chased 3rd uncle out of the house. 3rd uncle said that he no longer has a family and left with face wet with tears. My heart teared for him, so did my eyes.

All thanks to my grandmother's bad teachings did all his sons and daughter turn out to hate each other. There is no love between the siblings and the children have no love for their mother. This confirms why I have disliked my grandmother ever since I understood things around me.
