When you give a girl an uncle, you are giving her a best friend. Not the best friend that you text every second of the day, but the best friend that will never let her down. You give her the best friend that is always there to dry the tears and bring the rainbows. You give her the best friend that will always be one call away and that will always be there for her.
A friendship that will last a lifetime.
When you give a girl an uncle, she gets precious memories. Memories from when she was five and he could never tell her no. Memories from when she turned thirteen and he was the craziest person at her party. Memories from when she got her first serious boyfriend and he threatened to hurt that boy if he ever would break her heart. Memories from her senior trip and all the laughter he caused on that trip. You give her memories that last a liftetime.
When you give a girl an uncle, you give her love. Love for another human, almost as much as the love she has for her parents. Love from another human, almost as much as his own kids. Love that will last a lifetime.
When you give a girl an uncle, you give her a smile. She smiles because she knows she has an amazing man in her life. She smiles because she knows she will always be loved by him. She smiles because she knows that no matter what, he will be there. He will be there making her smile. It’s a smile that will last a lifetime.
When you give a girl an uncle, you give her heartbreak. Heartbreak comes when he gets sick. Heartbreak comes when you don’t know if it will be the last time you will ever see him again. Heartbreak comes when he is hurting and you cannot help him. Heartbreak that will last a lifetime.
When you give a girl an uncle, you give her many nicknames. The nicknames can form when she is a child. Or they can appear when she is grown up. Her uncle will never call her by her real name, only her chosen nickname. Those nicknames will last a lifetime.
My love for my uncle, my best friend, my rainbow, will last a lifetime.
