Uncle Kevin

Uncle Kevin was born in New Liskeard, Ontario, to Mary and Mark who had a family of four children. They were all known to be good kids that respected others. Uncle Kevin today he keeps that model in practice. He was and still is a great man who works hard to complete what needs to be done throughout our family and the generations that follow. There are certainly many things that make him my hero but the main reason is because he saved me from a bad situation.

He was born in New Liskeard Ontario to Mary and Mark. They loved their son and taught him how they wanted him to think and be when he was older. He came to move into our house when I was four. It was the greatest. He was so fun and made me laugh. When he moved out whenever he came to visit he would always buy me ice cream from the ice cream truck and till this day I still refer that sound to him. I am proud of him because his accomplishments are far greater that what I think he thought he would achieve. This man has been a support and a leader for me in my life.

He married to a wonderful girl and they had a son. It was a great delight to the both of them and especially to me because this means that I will sometimes gets to babysit the little guy. I do not have a little brother but to me this is like a little brother because we are so close related. Uncle Kevin did not just give a present to himself that day, he also gave a present to me. I was thirteen at the time and very young. He gave me hope of a future and always said that I was the most gorgeous, whatever age I was, girl in the world. This put a smile on my face.

The situation that he rescued me from was my dad. My dad was mean and hurt my mom, sister, and me deeply. This was because he was not truthful. He was aggressive and told me to do things that were not right. This was because he knew that he would get in trouble if certain things were not completed and decided to blame it on me instead. It was always different with Uncle Kevin because he would help me finish my stuff and make me feel good about myself instead of bad. Life was much easier with him around.

He does not punish me but he encourages me and makes me feel good about myself and not all crummy. This is why he is my hero because he cares for me and not like I am trash thrown against the wall. Whenever I talk to him at the end I always have a smile on my face because he makes me feel as though I am important. Life without my uncle Kevin I would not know because I probably would not be here today if it had not been for him. He puts a smile on my face and cheers me on with encouraging words. This is why he is my hero. Thanks Uncle Kevin.
