How to use Uncle in a sentence?
My uncle was a very ambitious, hardworking man who came from a scrappy background, he worked his way up topolice chief, to one of the top investigators in the state of Wisconsin. He was married to his childhood sweetheart, a June Cleaver or Tami from ‘Friday Night Lights.’.
In old times these things were covered up, they were covered up also in the homes when the uncle raped the little niece, or the father raped his children. They were covered up because the shame was very big.
Even what they've been dealing with, like literally, they put aside what they are dealing with to see how my family is doing. And it takes a lot of strength. It takes a lot of strength to be able to do that. They've seen over and over and over and over their brother, their uncle being murdered. Murdered ! In front of millions, and that family, they see us, and they give us hugs, you know, just -- yes, encouragement to keep going because that's what we're going to do. We're going to keep fighting.
No one's asked me that before, and yes, I did. He was your uncle ?
I was only three or four years old when my uncle died but I can remember my mother’s cries, she was listening to music, she was ironing I think, and she cried out, because they were talking about a plane crash, a tragedy in which all the Alianza Lima players had been killed.
