What makes a hero?

They say a hero is someone that has given his life to something bigger than himself.

I say a hero is no braver than an ordinary man, he is just braver for five minutes longer.

All soldiers are brave, it's what they do with their bravery that makes them heroes.

Am I a hero?

What is the greatest thing a man can experience?

Having back what you have thought you have lost for good. It is true that good things happen to those who wait, but damn, did I had to wait too long

"Soldier, Are you going to stop staring at my stomach?"

"Sorry boo, but I still cannot believe that it is real, and you are sort of kind of a bit, so I can just not miss it."

"You can be glad my hands are swollen, or else I would have punched you."

I am a mess right now; I happy messed up, man. Here is the woman that I love more than anything, and she is still having our baby. I have missed out on so much, I can only imagine what she must have gone through, but I don't understand."

"Boo, but why did you tell me that you lost the baby."

"Mark said, as I told you, that he would kill your parents if I told anyone. He had this crazy idea in his head that he could raise our child as his own."
