Me and Khalil are looking for my Uncle Kayceon. I called Grandma to see if he was in San Francisco. And he is.

She told us he is in the lower part of the city. We arrived at a small apartment building.

"Apartment 20B." Khalil says as we arrive at the door. I take in a deep breath.

"You ready for this Love?" He asks.

I nod. I knocked on the door. A man with a goatee and waves opened the door. He looked exactly like Mom.

"Hi, I'm Chance." I say. "Chance? My niece Chance Kaepernick?" He asks.

"Yes. And this is my boyfriend Khalil." I say.

He invited us in. His place is small. "How are you Chance?" Kayceon asks.

"I'm fine. Here and there with Dad." I say. "You grew up a lot. I remember seeing you as a baby and you're almost grown." He says.

"I missed a lot. How's your mother?" He asks. "Fine. Perfect football wife." I say.

"I knew she would. She kinda shunned me away when she moved on. Had her name shortened go to Jay. I wish she would give me a second chance." He says.

I look into his tired eyes. "Maybe you can. Mom is making dinner as we speak." I say.

He smiles as he follows us to the door.
