Heroes
My family. My Mom for successfully battling through all of her ailments through the past ten years, and my step father for staying by her side through all of it. My Dad for keeping a postive outlook on life and remaining a hopeless romantic throughout the years, despite the things that most of the women in his life have put him through. My Aunts and Uncles for proving that in hard times we must stick together, and in good times we should celebrate. And for never turning their back on me or any of my siblings/cousins, even when we were being total bastards. Miss you Joe.
