In-class Writing: Question #1

A tragic event in my life that brought me closer to someone was the death of my Uncle Phil.  He lived in Staten Island with his 2 children and my aunt.  I was also there for the moment of his death.  Being that his family lived in Staten Island I was never really close with my cousins because I would rarely see them.  His death resulted in me growing much closer with my cousins because I wanted to look out for them since they had lost their father and since I couldn't imagine my life without mine.  I would always check up on them through texts and calls and would even help my aunt by driving to Staten Island to bring my cousin to his baseball games and tournaments.
