She Takes Pride In Her Heroes

As far back as she can remember…whenever her memories stir… her heroes came from the pages of children’s books her dads would read to her. When they read about knights in shining armor…about heroes brave and wise about feats of strength and courage…she would listen…mesmerized. When she grew a little older her heroes also grew they transformed as she did…as heroes often do. Yet she found as her heroes changed over time into new champions…new Galahad’s the traits she admired in her heroes… were the same traits she admired in her dads. She found of all the heroes she admired… all her heroes big and small the most important heroes in her life…never changed at all. They were the two men who read her children’s books… the ones she still can’t wait to see the ones who taught her everything about what heroes ought to be. And they are still her heroes… her champions…her Galahads and she is proud to call them heroes but she prefers too call them dads.
