My incredible uncle has always been there, standing steadfastly behind me, providing unwavering support. He has played the role of a father figure, leading me through life's trials and imparting valuable lessons that have shaped me into the confident man I am today. Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude for his love, guidance, and mentorship. I am forever indebted to his constant presence and influential impact in my life. Here's to my extraordinary uncle, my role model, and the second father who willingly stepped up when he didn't have to.
