My Uncle Daddy T

This point in my life I have been having my ups and downs, been confused on who is actually here for me and those that aren’t. My uncle T seems to have it together right now, especially now that I feel everyone is unstable and unreliable; everyone meaning my other uncle’s and grandpa. From being a little girl who would belly flop on him to the girl who is now taking care of her own son; I could proudly say he has not bailed on me or disappointed me. When I was nine I lost my dad, after growing up with him around all the time, it seemed as if he filled an empty spot in my heart, not replacing my dad but having the spot next to him. So when I found out I was pregnant I was scared and worried on how my uncle T was going to take it since he was second dad. Of course he was happy for me and told me I’m still his ‘little Tay,’ that nickname always reassures me that he loves me and he is not going to abandon me. I love him with all my heart, my son Forrest will have the best godfather, well as soon as he’s baptized, he will know the love and joy I feel every time I’m around him and his family.
