A letter to my hero, my Aunt
Dear Aunt Lubby,
You might not know it, I might not say it but you’re my hero. You encouraged me to use my gift of writing. You knew that I was good at writing. When I stopped writing for a few years, you would say “have you been writing? You need to start back writing!” You know that I am good at writing, and you don’t want me to waste my gift. You’re the reason I started back writing stories and poems. All heroes do not wear capes. You definitely don’t wear capes. You wear dresses, sandals, and head wraps around your beautiful dreadlocks. All heroes don’t have superpowers like the ones in the movies, like flight,, or the superpower where the hero or superhero can disappear. Some people have regular people powers.. Aunt Lubby you have regular people powers,, your powers consist of uplifting your love ones, motivating your love ones, and loving on your love one’s. Even when I wasn’t uplifting and motivating myself, you always lift me up. You always motivate me, on a regular basis. Dear Aunt Lubby, you are my hero, you showed me what strength is. You showed me what super strength is. The type of strength that you have is out of this world, let’s call it super strength. You are one of the strongest people that I know. You’re stronger than an ox! No matter what came your way I never seen you give up. You just pick yourself up, and keep going. Watching you and seeing your strength on a day to day basis, I know that I have to be like you and never give up, I have to keep pushing. I always come to you for advice. You are always there to tell me what you think I should or shouldn’t do. You are always there to assist me whenever I need you. You have made a positive impact on my life. You made a positive impact through your words of advice, your words of Encouragement, your motivation, and your love. Aunt Lubby, you are so protective. You make sure that I’m n in harms way. You constantly call me and check on me. You always make sure I make it home safe from any destination. That’s one if the reasons that I look up to you. I’m so Thankful to have a aunt like you. You have done so much for me. The things that you have done have shaped me into the amazing human being that I am today. You have done so much and you don’t expect money or any type of reward for what you do. Even when you’re not your best. Even when you’re not feeling good, you’re always there for me. You’re always telling me how proud of me you are. You’re always there pushing me, making sure that I reach my full potential. No my hero does not fly across the world like a superhero in the books. My hero does run to my side every time that I need her. Aunt Lubby you are always there to save the day. You save the day when it’s something that I don’t understand, and I call you for answers. You save the day when you listen to me vent. You save the day when you take a load off of me. You save the day when you push me by encouraging me to “Do it!” When I don’t feel like it, or when I lose interest in something you push me. You’re my hero, you don’t need a cape, you don’t need superpowers. You were born with your own set of unique powers. I love you, I look up to you, I admire you. I’m so thankful and happy that you’re apart of my life.
Love,
Your niece, Janelle
