My heroes are people that I know or knew. My Grandfather…
People who go way out of their way to save someone! Save a Dog, a dog that saves a family from a house fire! Someone who helps a drowning person.
Those are heroes.
I have been called a hero by patients, but I think if I’m being paid for this, then I’m definitely not a hero.
A politician? A media personality? Fuck no, that’s just them pandering.
Someone who goes above and beyond, putting their own interests aside to save someone’s life. Yes.

110% I stopped having famous heroes in my teens
but my Dad...(RIP)
I never knew 1/10th of the shit he went through till he passed, he never let life get to him and we never saw the man sweat or fret over anything. It wasn't false bravado or braggadocious either it was quiet confident assurance. He was equally at home in the woods of rural Georgia, as the loading dock in a metropolitan city, or the boardroom or meeting of his industries elites.
He was stoic AF.
His mind was not for rent to any god or government, always hopeful yet discontent. Knows changes aren't permanent, but change is ....
