PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE! VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Like most people, I have an Uncle.
However unlike most people my Uncle is dying. He has cancer.
My Uncle is a wanker (in the best sense). He, like so many Uncle's around the world, tells the lamest jokes and makes up the biggest bullshit stories you will ever hear, and as much as these things annoy you, its something you realise that you will one day miss.
For the last few days I have been thinking. His having cancer has put so much of my own life into perspective. I realise now that family is so important no matter how much you fight and carry on.
As cruel as this sounds, I'm lucky to know he has cancer, for at least we can say good bye to him and treasure each moment we have left. As much as I rather him not be dying, we can at least share his life and cherish it all the more.
When someone is not ill no one does this, no one ever takes time out to indulge in each other. Life is so short and so fragile that I do truly believe that we should care for one another so much more. You never know, tomorrow you could be hit by a bus and die on the street. At least with cancer we know that his dying.
My final message to all my readers is please take care of each other and learn to love each day as if it is your last. Don't wait for some horrible disease to open your eyes to the fragility of human life!
-Thank you
For my Uncle Robert. For being such a tool!

sSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs
"Snivellus!" a Gryffindor boy yelled out "You dropped your head!"
"What?" I look around for a second before I realised what he said. Damn! I can't believe I fell for that!
The entire class laughs at me.
I will make all of them pay, they will see they should never have messed with me. I walk away.
The burning sensation on my arm later that night felt nothing like pain, it was a victory. Oh yes they will all pay!
"Ssseverussss, welcome" I look up into the red eyes of my Master. "my newesssst Deatheater"
Oh yes revenge is sweet.
My Uncle Robert for some reason loves that joke. And constantly says it to my cousin. "look you dropped your head" its not really funny but at the same time you laugh.
So that's what I tried to do, the first half of this ficlet is a lame joke that's not really funny and the second part is serious business. Kinda like my Uncle.
I do hope you all enjoy it!
And please review!
