Quote of the Month

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Hero

Avery asked me yesterday if I knew what the coolest thing about her Grandpa is. To Avery, the coolest thing about her Grandpa is that he had a choice... a choice to stand up for what was right, to fight for freedom, and to help other people, or to do nothing. Avery said that she was happy that her Grandpa made the right choice, because when he did, he became her hero.
 
To my children's Grandpa, I say thank you. Thank you for your service to our country. And thank you for being a hero to us all.
