My brother who is a high school english teacher has gotten me into Hemingway recently, and thus bull fighting........

Heroes:

wow,,,,, I'm not really sure which is probably really interesting to my good friends meg o. and giovanni who are psych degrees, Obviously My husband who is my rock, and my son who is my soul..... others........my best friend jess I guess. yeah. who has never judged me no matter what. and I mean no matter what(which basically means no matter how many times as a young'un I messed up) After knowing each other since we were days old...27 years. That is my hero because how much deeper admiration can you have than TRUE unconditional love. Understanding the real meaning of friendship through ups and downs is heroic. Also my brother-in-law,friend Mike who came out after being raised as a MENNONITE preacher's son. If he can do that there is no excuse for me to be afraid to be happy ever in my blessed existence. You kick ass Mike.
