Super Uncle Uncle Makes Everything More Fun

My hero is my Uncle Terry. He is my mom’s brother, my grandma’s son. He’s more than my uncle, he’s also my godfather, which means a lot to me.

When I was little, my dad left us. When my mom needed something, Uncle Terry was there for us, and especially me. He’s like the dad I never had. He’s not married, so that’s good, and he has no kids (except me).

When I’m down or hurt, he is there. When I need something, he is there for me. My uncle takes my cousins, Jonathon and James, and me to the fair every year. He takes us other places, too. My uncle builds shelves and things like that. So he always helps me make stuff for my grandma, my mom, and of course, myself. He helps everyone!

What I’m trying to say is my uncle is the best thing that ever happened to me!
