    My family has never been Heroic, said the Brave Boy, regretfully, as we passed a Sign for a Lost Cat.

    They haven't?

    No... All we do is go to Work and School and Church and and practice Violin and go to Concerts.

    Could beating Cancer could be considered herioc?

    Naw... That doesn't Count. It's doesn't Help Other People.

    I thought of all the people who had heard his story, had seen him set his jaw during chemo, or whom he had tickled... People who had walked a little taller, worked a little harder, and found courage to face another day because of a Brave Boy.

    Perhaps the Greatest Heros are those who don't know their own Greatness.
