The
theme this month on Romancing the Genres is “real life heroes”. I think
sometimes we use the term hero loosely. Sometimes we celebrate the wrong people.
We elevate athletes and other celebrities, when real heroes are right in our
communities. The teachers who inspire students to learn, the doctors and nurses
who go to work every day and save lives, the single mothers, those battling
cancer or other disease.
Sometimes
heroes turn out to be people going about their day who are suddenly faced with
a situation where they have to step up. Then there are the times when a group
of strangers becomes the rescue team. I see videos coming across my Facebook
feed all the time. I love these videos because they show that people will do
the right thing, despite all the negative news stories out there. Whether they
are rescuing a woman from a sinking car, a father jumping into a river after
his daughter, or even a deaf man pulling a deer trapped in the ice to
safety, real heroes are all around us. We just
have to look for them. Here are a couple examples.

There are amazing people in the world. Thank you for showing me three of them!
Awesome videos! Everyday hero's are the ones we rarely hear about. they are in every city and town and countryside! I wish the daily news would have more of these inspiring stories instead of all the shock news.
Great post!
Thank you for sharing. Kudos to our unsung heroes that are so deserving of recognition, and so rarely get it.
