[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 41517, member: 1722"] Duckie attended an award ceremony today. All the winners had written essays about people in their lives that were their heroes. The younger children drew a picture and wrote a little bit. Duckie won by writing about the deacon of our church. She gave a lot of emotional support to my family when my grandmother died in March. It was a lovely ceremony where the essayist received a medal & the hero received a trophy. The essayist read their entry as well. I'm very proud of Duckie.

The common denominator for all these heroes is that they took the time to care & to make a difference in a child's life. It's wonderful to know that there still are heroes out there for our kids.
