Heroes

Here are two of the most important heroes in my life. The challenges and adversity each faced were remarkable. Poverty, interrupted education, war, bigotry, societal norms.... all have been managed to the best of their abilities. Poverty, we learned to handle. On the latter points, they helped change the world. At least, the small town where I grew up has begun to change. For many who live there, that's all the world they'll ever see. It counts.
