Hub decided to look after Walter and said, “I'll stick around and be your damn uncle. Don't expect me to be happy about it” (McCanlies,1). Hub realized Walter needed him in his life because Walter’s mother did not take much action to ensure that he gets what he needs. Since Walter did not have such a great parental figure to look up to, Hub decided he would care for him. Afterall, Walter’s own mother just dumped him at Hub’s place when Walter barely even knew who Hub was. Hub felt the urge to care for his great-nephew, even if it meant sacrificing a portion of retirement time to look after him.

In the end, Hub developed affectionate feelings towards Walter as he fulfilled the gap of the fatherly figure in Walter’s
