Books:

I have always liked the "Chicken Soup" series, as well as Stephen King, but I read more magazines than anything

Heroes:

My siblings: *My how much we have changed!!!*
My Grandparents of course: If it weren't for them, who knows what would have happened to us. We would have been separated and sent to who knows where. And for those who have met my grandparents, you know that they are just **Grandma & Grandpa**. They aren't your typical grandparents, that's for sure. Their house reminds me of the 7th Heaven house (need advice, a place to crash, a helping hand? go there!). They are loving to just about anyone that walks in their front door, and if they don't like someone... they'll tell you. If they don't like something you do... they'll tell you. They hadn't even finished raising their own five kids before taking us in. It was a full house for sure, but they did it.
Also, to all the military/fire/police personnel out there... you are TRUE heroes to everybody.
