My uncle got buzzed tonight. And apparently when he drinks, he gets more outspoken than usual (considering his quiet and passive demeanor). He asked me what I would do if grandma died and auntie moved to Texas. What would I do if I was left alone with my dad? How would I take care of us? I joked and said I could handle it; I'd buy him McD's everyday. He retorted that I need to depend on myself and not on anyone else. That my dad is getting old. Of course, my dad and I laughed it off, but at the back of our heads, we're both wondering: What would I do if I was left alone to take care of my dad?

I don't know. And that thought scares me.
