Heroes

I’ll save all the fabulous details for a moment when I’m not so darn tired, but suffice it to say that we raised over $30,000 today at an event that was, well, really wonderful.

As I tucked my beautiful bald boys into bed tonight and told them, yet again, how proud I was of them, I thought of all the other mothers out there saying the exact same thing at the exact same moment. Mothers and fathers, and wives and, yes, husbands, uttering those very words. Just down the street from us and on the next block over and a mile away and clear across town, all of us leaning over to kiss those fuzzy heads and whispering, “I’m so proud of you.”

Because they’re heroes. Every one.
