Heroes
Honestly, my dad was my hero. He was a real life Atticus Finch. He made me understand that heroism isn't just doing grand spectacular things, sometimes it's the small, quiet, honest things that are most heroic; and that each of us has the capacity to do them. Heroism isn't always serious either, sometimes it helps us to laugh when the very act of laughing seems completely at odds with the world around us.
