Who are your heroes?
I have a slew of people I look up to – Ron Paul, St. Thomas Aquinas, G.K. Chesterton. Ron Paul because of his life-long tireless fighting for liberty and the Constitution, St. Thomas Aquinas for his theology, and G.K. Chesterton for his theology and humor.
Steve Jobs was a fascinating person, I read a biography on him and I admired his creativity, vision and I even had a soft spot for his controversial personality. What can I say, I like difficult people.
All heroes in a way.
But, my dad, he’s my real hero. He died of cancer last summer, and I miss him more than anything. I’ve always looked up to him since I was really little, I was always a daddy’s girl. I’ve always seen him as strong, brave, a Mr. Fix-it (ha!), loving, funny and generous, all things I very much admire in a person, things I want to see in myself – especially the strength and bravery. I don’t know if he would have said he had these qualities, but it doesn’t matter because that’s how I see him.
And of course, he’s my daddy, what girl doesn’t see her daddy as her hero?
