Do you consider anyone in your family to be a personal hero?

My father is someone I've always admired. He had a pretty rough childhood. He was the oldest of 3 brothers, and when he was around 6 years old his middle brother died of cancer. His mother went a little nuts after losing a son and spent some time in a psychiatric hospital. She took her own life when my dad was only 7 years old. He moved around a lot with his father and living with his grandparents.
He got through all the tough times and has really made something of himself in his career. He manages over 100 people now. I work for the same company he has been at for 35+ years, and I can't be more proud when I run into people who have worked for or with him. No one has ever had a bad word to say about him.

I was taught to treat all family elders as heroes, even if they had a bad past.

I was taught to treat all family elders as heroes, even if they had a bad past. I was raised that way too. It helped shape my life and treat everyone with respect. |
