Regrets. I fucking hate them, and I’m sinking further into the deep
abyss of my regrets with no sight of the light at the other end. Every
decision I’ve made over the past five years suddenly feels like the wrong
decision.
It started when my parents died. Then only got worse when my brother,
Ryan, moved away to play baseball. To top things off, the love of my life
married another woman. I turned my back on my small hometown in
northern Montana, and poured all my energy into my outdoor clothing
company. There wasn’t a lot left there for me anyway.
Now, I feel like I missed out on everything that was really important.
I’m suddenly filled with an overwhelming sense of loneliness and loss.
Family is everything.
That’s what my daddy always said. Yet Ryan and I walked away from
the last remaining relative we had—our Uncle Jimmy.
And now he’s gone, too.
He was found dead two days ago in his bed by one of the farmhands
he’d hired to help with this season’s grape harvest. It kills me that he died
alone. It shouldn’t have been like that.
All those ignored calls and broken promises about coming home for a
visit come crashing down on me like a thick sludge of goo. I haven’t been
home in five years, and it’s been at least a year since I returned one of my
uncle’s calls. With his passing, the only family I have left is my brother. No
other aunts or uncles. No cousins. No grandparents. Nobody.
Yeah, I’ve got regrets.
The spout cap to the tea kettle I put on the stove finally blew off with a
loud clank, dragging me out of my thoughts. The whistle signaling the
water was ready barely registered before the cap blew. Now that’s all I can
hear, echoing in my aching head.
Rushing from my bedroom and into the kitchen, I quickly remove the
kettle and turn off the stove. I developed a headache after I received the call
about Uncle Jimmy, and it’s lingering, refusing to go away.
Our family’s lifelong attorney, Richard, was the one to call. His delivery
of the news came across as cold and heartless. He doesn’t exactly have a
gentle tone. He’s getting up there in age, and was always a little rough
around the edges. It didn’t help that he and I never got along. I would’ve
preferred anyone had called me but him.
Who else did I expect to call to tell me such news?
No one.
Because there is no one else to do such things.
Ryan and I are all Uncle Jimmy had.
I may not have visited in a long time, but just knowing Uncle Jimmy
was there kept me connected to the place I’d once called home. Now that
he’s gone, I feel like my lifeline has been severed, and my existence is
slowly being drained out of me.
It’s an odd feeling, and I don’t really know how to describe what’s
happening to me. My chest is tight, and my lungs feel heavy, like I can’t
take in enough oxygen.
