Heroes. This word can be used in a myriad of ways. It can be used to describe our family, our friends, those who protect and serve, or simply those who stand against injustice.
It is my belief that we are all looking to find heroes. To model ourselves after... to live our lives by. There are so many role models out there that seem to convey the wrong message...
...yet it is my belief that there are heroes among us.
I'm a military brat... and because of that I didn't see my dad as often as I would have liked. But just knowing that he was serving our country... doing what he could for the nation (he was in services)... made him a hero in my eyes.
My mom is also one of my heroes. She does anything for anyone at the drop of a hat without fail. Whether she can afford to or not, she's there. For my sisters... for my brother... and for me.
Personally... I have a lot of heroes. It seems everyone I've met has a little bit of it in them.
Believe in the good in people... and I doubt you'll ever be let down.
One more thing...
When I talk about heroes I don't mean hero worship. It's an important distinction.
A true hero doesn't need recognition. He's usually too busy saving the world.
