Thee story about Uncle John's wife was so sad. I agree with Melissa on the fact that it did affect him mentally and emotionally. I also like how his family was characterized and they all were happy that he was back with them.
Later on in the novel, Uncle John says something along the lines of "he has sins that no body knows of". I think that some of those sins are the ones that will always haunt him about his wife. His wife's tragedy is something that will always be with him, something he will never let himself live down.
It was quite sad and the fact that he tries to repent by giving back to others and giving little kids treats makes it even more heartbreaking
