Uncle tries to help
Uncle George suddenly showed up beside me, grinning mischievously as usual. He waved his glass and said, “All right, people, let’s not dwell.” Let’s raise a glass to laughter and love, and raise them high! He made an effort to lighten the atmosphere, and it was noticed. Eager to get back to the important things, the guests raised their glasses and joined in with hushed but grateful cheers.

Although everyone looked to be speaking through gritted teeth in an attempt to get past the awkward situation, the sound of clinking glasses reverberated throughout the room as subdued discussions resumed. I saw some cousins, maybe trying to soothe Dad, gently guide him to a more peaceful spot. Others in the room, meanwhile, leaned into small talk as they tried to get back to normal following the sudden interruption.
