The Real Heroes




"Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
                       ~Adlai Stevenson~

***
A bowl of fruit salad
is in the
refrigerator.
The chocolate cake is baked.
Today,
will be spent in Gunter, TX
with Lars & Josh
and Jami.
It is a day to remember the heroes in our lives.

Remember picnics of long ago,
and plan for tomorrow.
Jami's assignments over the next months
frighten and remind me that,
true heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
May God bless the heroes in our lives......

Love you,
Me
