Heroes, Are they real???

What defines a hero?

There are a lot of heroes and people have different opinions about what make a hero.  Chuck Norris is someone’s hero, if not don’t tell him, he will kill you. Who can forget John Wayne?  My dad was my hero.  Does not really matter what or who  our heroes are.  They could be a bunch of turtles in the sewer. I was going to give a definition of a hero but all I could find was a TV show about Heroes I have never watched. Some people have sports personalities as heroes.  I still don’t get that, but I was thinking the other day and thought who the heroes of today are?  I first thought of nurses, doctors and fireman, policemen, single moms, and thought you know we are all heroes to something or someone.  I have a friend of mine who lives in California who works in the medical field as an RN. She gets up every day does her thing and makes a big difference in people’s lives. She never says what is in it for me.  She just does it. Thanks Sheila!  Yes you make a difference!! I say Thank you!!!! How about the single moms who bust their butt every day taking care of their families, they don’t get paid a dime for their sacrifice but to me that is awesome!  They are our true heroes.  The last couple of days I have been talking about the military.  Yes the men and women who go into harms ways every day and get paid almost nothing, they are my heroes.   Think about the guy or girl who runs into a burning building, taking risk every day, are they crazy?  Yes, but they are unsung heroes, They just want to make a difference.  Ben he likes to play with fire but he is a great guy who I look up to.  He just became certified as a firefighter.  I think that is a crazy profession but he makes a difference.  We all are trying to make a difference.  We really take heroes for granted.  Sure they are doing their jobs for the most part but these unsung heroes need a thank you once in a while.  My hats off to the unsung heroes who everyday touch the lives of many and have no clue they are special.  Who needs a TV Show?  Until next time!!
