What does family look like to me?
Well, I have two sides of family that are super big. I’m named after my dad whose name is Kevin DeWitt Jackson Jr. I’m Kevin DeWitt Jackson the third. My mom’s family is the Clay family and I’m a lot closer to them. I also have the last name Clay. Family means so much to me. I like to spend as much time as possible with them. I want to protect, provide, and bond with them. Family from the start looks like a village that holds you, feeds you, cleans you, teaches you. My family is a hand hold, a shoulder to cry on, words of encouragement. My mother cares, my dad is strong, my sisters follow. I’m a brother who leads. We have a beautiful grandma who we miss, a granddad who we resemble. My aunts compliment with loving words, my uncle BBQs with a passion. My cousins have talents that inspire me. My in-laws who are old and new. My family is a group that supports me. I created my own family when my daughter was born on March 26th 2022, her name is Kecian Clay, she has the same initials as me and I named her. Family is a legacy. People who carry your name and remember you when you leave this life. | KC
