A True Hero


Hero

When you hear hero what do you think?

You probably think clearing a building in a single bound;

Think faster than a speeding bullet

Think defeating the bad guys.

 

But you know whats more heroic?

Quitting the job you worked so hard for to take care of your kids;

Staying up late to help your son with his homework;

Driving hours and hours to every tennis tournament to see them succeed;

 

When I think Hero

I think Mom
