Hey daddy! It’s been a year since you left to go fight the bad guys, but mommy says you are safe now in heaven! We ate your favorite meal tonight! I ate it all up, even though I don’t like carrots. I learned how to swim this summer! I can open my eyes underwater! It’s been 5 years now daddy. I’m in the 5th grade. Math is hard but I like computers. Mommy lets me sleep in your T-shirts. I think it still smells like you. I don’t need to sleep with the light on anymore. I try not to cry but it still hurts! I miss you. It’s been 10 years daddy I started high school I made the honor roll. I hope you are proud of me. I also made the soccer team. I started thinking about college. Do you think I could be a doctor? I know you’ll be with me when I walk

That makes me think of all of people I have talked to about heros. They say stuff like,” A hero is someone who cares and protects. They can be anybody from anyplace.” I wouldn’t argue with that but to me it is harder to actually think about that one statement, Anyone from anyplace. Really! I disagree.

I have a very special hero. I don’t think I have even told him. He might be finding out right now. I know my him. He loves me. He has earned that place in my life. He worked for it. No, he wasn’t the popular kid in school. No, he’s not a firefighter or even a police, but he still has earned his place. He is someone who I get mad at all the time. You might or might not know him. It’s my dad.
Yes, you heard me correctly. My dad, but what did my dad even do to earn that label? He did a lot of little things in fact. He took care of me when I was sick. He brought me to church. I want to repay him someday but I just haven’t figured that out yet. He is the reason I am here on earth. He is special. I love you dad. I hope you know you’re my
