Brian Cook

by Ashley from Fort Lupton

Born in 1979, Brian Cook has a wife, 2 teenage girls, and a 5 year old son. He is a firefighter but struggles with keeping his family happy. He tries his hardest, but that sometimes isn't enough for his family. He has been told that he is hated, and that he should "go away" if you know what I mean. Even through all of his struggles, he is still with his family.
My mom, sister, and I came to Fort Lupton to get away from our past. My mom had a stroke and my sister and I had nowhere to go. So he moved in. Without him, I don't know where I'd be. As I fire-fighter he obviously saves lives. Other people's lives are more important than his. When I have a family, I would definitely want to be like him. He tries his hardest to keep us happy.
Brian Cook, is my hero and my Dad. He loves like I am actually his real (blood) daughter. He inspires me because he never gives up. He also can hold a very special part in someone's heart because of his humor and kindness. He is truly my (Earth) savior. I would not be here without him.
