On Tuesday, my family and I attended the funeral of one of my favorite uncles, William Melvin Glover Jr. I really appreciated the time I got to spend with my family, catching up and reminiscing about my Uncle Bill. I loved hearing my cousins telling everyone stories of their childhood that illustrated just how funny, intelligent, loving, and caring a person my uncle truly was. Exactly the kind of parent, and person in general, that I admire and strive to be. I was glad to have gotten to know this man and to have him in my life.
