Robert's Young Life

 

Robert was born in Chuathbaluk, Alaska. He was born in his uppa's house, and his uppa spoiled him when he was small. When he got older he started wanting to go out and play almost every day. We'd babysit him almost every day because we didn't want him to go out and play since there was nothing to do in the morning. Robert was somewhat bossy and sometimes he would cry to his uppa to go out and play. He was really stuck to his uppa. When Robert was outside the house his uppa would miss him because there was no noise in the house. And Robert was always crying for his uppa.

Robert and Carmen could never get along. They would fight almost every day. We'd have to break them up to keep them from fighting. After he left Chuathbaluk, Robert moved down to Bethel to his grandma's. He also liked it down there because his grandma spoiled him too. He was always asking his grandma for something to buy from the stores in Bethel and his grandma would listen to him because he didn't have anything to play with. He would ask his grandma to buy him some cars and trucks or some tractors to play with.

After he grew older he moved over here with his mom where it was good for him because he could go places. He was tired of staying in one place too long, plus he had a friend in Marshall who he played with almost every day. His friend was Kevin Fitka who passed away eight years ago. After Kevin died Robert was not so happy anymore because he had lost his best friend in an accident. But he learned to cope with it. As Robert got a little bit older you all know the rest of the story. He's gone places we had never gone before and he's got life to look forward to. He is living a good straight life and I'm glad the way he turned out to be. I'm very proud to have a nephew like him.
