My Super Hero

I just had to drop a quick note in gratitude and recognition of today's superhero.  His name is Brad and today he appeared in my driveway with his grandson and snow shovels and set to work making sure I could get myself and the kids out to school.

That might not seem like a big thing to most people, although anytime someone else is willing to shovel snow it is pretty incredible, but with Lance gone to Alabama it was a Godsend.  Without his help I and the kids would have been late to school.  Then I would have had to come back and try to scrap all the packed snow out of the driveway.  Have you noticed how much bigger your driveway is in the winter when you are shoveling snow!

Sure, I could have done it myself and in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't have really mattered if the kids were a little bit late to school but the kindness and thought that went into getting over to our house was very touching.  It also saved me from more than a little bit of stress.

I have been going over this in my mind and suddenly realized that Brad was a hero because he was doing what makes all hero's super, service!  Looking out for each other, helping (serving) people in need is what make a SuperHero!  Luckily we don't have to be able to see through buildings, spin webs, or own an invisible plane to be a hero.  We can ALL be hero's!
