Heroes:
My heros are people who have overcome obstacles that "normal" individuals break at the sight of a challenge. To all my people who make it through everyday struggles and trials, you are my hero. To the single moms who are doin it all by themselves, you are my hero. To the brothas who are doin it by THEMSELVES ( and believe me ya'll they are out there), you are my heros. To those persevering through Cancer, AIDS, depression, you are m hero. To those people who are locked down for crimes you did NOT commit but doing the time quietly, when you come out you will have the greates testimonies, you are definitely my heros. And to my son (Nikko), he doesn't know it yet, but his being alive and runnin around the house, gettin into stuff, breakin stuff, beatin on daddy's bass, climbing the stairs quietly so we don't know he's doin it, lil man: YOU ARE MY GREATEST HERO. God bless Nikko.
