My uncle stood in my father’s shoes

I Am grateful for the opportunity to share my life experience with readers. As an orphan, I was raised by my uncle Dr. Frank Nabwiso since Primary Five. I lost both parents in 1990.

I have never regretted being an orphan because Dr. Nabwiso did everything a father would do for his child.

As my late mother’s elder brother, he took care of me. Not only is he my uncle but a great father as well. He brought me up, looked after me and has done everything for me.

He paid my school fees from primary school to university. As a child, he taught me to behave well and love people. He supported me and met most of my needs.

There are many fathers who have abandoned their children. However, I am grateful and thankful to Dr. Nabwiso for his kindness and love. Despite the fact that he has a family of his own, he has helped many people, including my brother and sisters. I wish all fathers were like him.

Dr.Nabwiso has mentored and inspired me to be a responsible and caring person. I recently graduated from Kyambogo University as an artist and a teacher.

It was his effort, commitment and love that enabled me achieve my dream.

As an artist, I work with different people, most of them have always admired the way I do things.

The Bible says in everything you do, put God first and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

I am grateful. I pray that God rewards him abundantly. I wish him a Happy Father’s Day.
