② Uncle Robert
Uncle Robert, who was born in 1965, lived in Riverton, a small town. His loyal companions included Max, the dog, Whiskers, the cat, and three chirpy birds: Tweety, Polly, and Charlie. During the summers, he took us on thrilling trips. We ventured into the waters of Lake Johnson for fishing, enjoyed picnics in Greenfield Park, and hiked the trails of Blue Mountain. Uncle Robert loved to tell us about his travels to faraway places like Paris, Tokyo, and Rio de Janeiro. A talented musician, he mastered the guitar, piano, and harmonica. His fondness for "Yesterday" by The Beatles was evident. Though he passed away last year, his memory resonates within us, cherished and enduring. His laughter still stays with us, bringing warmth even on the coldest days.
