Comments on: putting it all together: we could be heroes http://fridayplaydate.com/putting-it-all-together-we-could-be-heroes/ entirely true, but exaggerated for comic effect Tue, 22 May 2012 09:38:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Lori http://fridayplaydate.com/putting-it-all-together-we-could-be-heroes/#comment-96549 Lori Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:15:17 +0000 http://fridayplaydate.com/putting-it-all-together-we-could-be-heroes/#comment-96549 My dad is definitely a hero to me. His mom left the state right after he graduated from high school, leaving him and his older brother to fend for themselves in college. My dad worked a full 40 hours a week while going to college with a full load and he made pretty darn good grades to boot. And 30 years later, he's still doing impressive things in taking care of all of the legal, financial, and other considerations after his father (who wasn't much of a dad) died. I'd have easily said "To hell with you" and thrown than man in a ditch. But my dad is doing the right thing because it's the right thing. I think a real man and a hero works hard and does the right thing because it's the right thing, regardless of their personal feelings, monetary constraints, or any other factor.
