Hero

I miss you so much! I miss the walks we had through the park. I miss that look you always gave me when you were proud of me. I remember you were so proud of me when I conquered my fright of the ferris wheel. Every time I got on it, all these horrible images would fill my head. Many of them had to do with the ferris wheel stopping and leaving me all the way at the top with no way down. The worst one was the cabin braking off and dropping to the ground. You were always patient. You told me that I could beat any fear. You explained the odds of something like that happening are zero to none.

"There is no point in getting all worked up for something that probably might never happen."

I will never loose this. I know how much it meant to you. You fought for a little piece of that freedom. The odds were against you, yet you never gave up...you never surrendered. They kept pushing, and for those 14o horrifying days you pushed back. Because of you, that city is called the Hero City. You will forever be my hero.
