Heroes Next Door

"There are some different heroes.
They do not exist in the books of history
and very few people speak about them.
There are some heroes that they fight with death every day.
They know very well the value of life, living, death.
There are some heroes that they get the medal of honor of life.
They are the neighbors of the next country, the next city, the next house...
The heroes next door."

Very beautiful and truthfully said. Many kinds of heroes if only we take the time to notice... and appreciate. :) Blessings, Amy
