We all have battle scars, some you can see and some you cannot.
Invisible wounds. The ones that no one wants but some of us have. Unfortunately, the scars people cannot see are the ones that hurt the most.
I have had people tell me I was there hero. Why? Because I have survived the death of a child and to this day, can talk about her and what it means to me to have lost her and to love her.
I can see why we would be considered heroes but, I do not feel like a hero. Yes, I keep going but it is more than being a hero that makes me. There are quite a few people that I live for. Some are alive and some are not.
I think a hero is that child that is fighting cancer. That regardless of what life is throwing at him/her - she keeps fighting and keeps that spirit that people love alive. That strong faith.
A hero is someone that stands strong in the face of adversity.
I can see why a grieving mother could be a hero but, I don't want the title. I want to be remembered as someone that kept on going regardless of what live kept throwing at me, good or bad. I want people to want to keep on living too because, they realize someone else can do it and they can too.
Someone that puts others before themselves and means it, that is someone that should be looked up too. Someone that gives and doesn't ask for anything in return. Someone that stands strong in their faith regardless of life or what others think.
You can all decide what you think is a hero but to me, I can name two 15 year olds that are heroes. One is fighting cancer like no ones business and one is in heaven but left a legacy like no one else.
Psalm 16:3 "The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them"!
