Heroes

My husband's twin brother Tony, who lives in the southern United States, was proclaimed a hero by his community this past week, and we join heartily in the praise.

Tony was part of a two-person team that used an AED machine to bring a man back from death after he suffered a heart attack while flying a kite on the beach.

Heroes are what keep us going through the tough times, aren't they? They come in every shape and size, and both genders, and we thrill to hear their stories and imagine what we would or wouldn't have done as we replay the circumstance in our minds.

I'm grateful that there are people like Tony out there who are willing to help when they see a need and aren't afraid to get involved.

Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you on Monday.
