what, exactly, is a hero? is it someone who saves you from peril? from destruction? or someone who is there to hold your hand, drag you forward when your body ceases to function and your brain is screaming obscenities? or is it a person, a being, that completes you wholey? who knows you best inside and out and with just a look is able to capture your emotion and return a glance as if to tell you it will all be just fine?i have many heroes. most of them are my friends. four of them are my children. one is my husband. but, my greatest hero is myself.after all. no one can save you except for you.
