If I may, I’d like to deviate a little bit from my usual topics and today, talk about what it means to be a “hero.”<\/p>\n

These days,we see plenty of examples of superhuman feats that are described as “heroic.” Whether it’s the latest comic book action character getting translated into a movie or the TV show “Hero” about people with strange, magical powers, the term “hero” gets thrown around a lot these days.<\/p>\n

But what does it mean to be a “hero” in ordinary, everyday life? Well, here’s the one of the best (and most tragic) examples I’ve seen — Dad Died Saving His Little Girl<\/a>:<\/p>\n

With an out-of-control car bearing down, Joseph Richardson grabbed his 4-year-old daughter and held her up out of harm’s way. It was his last act — and one that apparently saved his daughter’s life. . . .<\/p>\n

Richardson was walking his daughter to a McDonald’s for burgers at 6:40 p.m. Monday when a 1990 Chevy Cavalier jumped a curb and careened towards them, police said, citing witness accounts. He grabbed his daughter just before the car slammed the two into the fence, police said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For all that you’ve done for your community, your family, and especially your daughter, you are truly one my heroes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
