Your Hero

Charles Devlin says this...

"Every day thousands of unsung heroes bring caring and compassion to the lives of millions. Their names are never featured in the headlines, but our world would be a much darker place without them"

One day a friend of mine, a very close friend of mine came to me and told me ... " Neil, i am willing to die for you." Very sweet right and everyone was expecting me to say the sweetest reply which is " me too " but instead i said the different thing.That happened when we went out for an adventure camping. I don't know if she was just kidding or not but i told her this ... "Can you just live for me."

Then everybody just melt right in front of me when i said it.That's sweeter than what they expect.She ask me why and sweetly and tenderly i said ... " i don't need a dead hero in my life. I need a living hero."By the way i'm not going to share to you today about sweet words okay.Today i will remind you that you are a hero and you've got heroes. Yes you are, you really are and you really have. You are a hero in somebody's life. You are a hero to somebody because you cared for her or for him more than you cared for your self.You have people in your life who are heroes because they loved you and cared for you much more than they cared for themselves.

My mother is my hero. She is the wind beneath my wings because she sacrificed her life of not getting medical help for her cancer in the ovary, because for her, she would rather spend her money for her children's education.My former sweetheart, the woman i loved with all my heart, lungs, potassium, calcium ( he he he ) was my hero because she choose to take care of me in the hospital instead of going out with her office mates for island hopping.

I can enumerate the heroes in my life. I know you can too. But one thing for sure, your friends, your family can also enumerate the heroes in their lives and you are on the list because you cared for them.

Let me turn the table and make this mellow dramatic. Who are your heroes? Your mom, dad, sis or bro, your wife or your husband? why don't you tell them now how they have touched your life and how they mean to you. Say it while they can still hear you.Tell them they are your hero.
