I've always been willing to forgive a lot from people who have the talent to back up the mouth. Call it my bad boy phase. Ha! In any event, I'm not sure I admired him for his accomplishments, but for his entertainment value. The others, well, they were people I enjoyed. I think I might have given my speech about my dad. I was always hard pressed to come up with a childhood hero, too.<br><br>I think it's fantastic that you got a great set of parents, too. I've always felt a tad guilty about that. Can't figure how I got so lucky.Trail Blazerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08291715601733518982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987034451869317078.post-89903334707234068632008-11-06T12:09:00.000-08:002008-11-06T12:09:00.000-08:00Interesting.

I didn't really particularly admire any one person's accomplishments, or give them much thought outside of general admiration for what they were able to achieve, but I don't remember ever feeling personal inspiration from it. When asked to write about our heroes in 5th grade, I wrote about my parents "because I couldn't think of anyone else." They were very flattered -- even knowing my reason -- but of course now that I'm older, I know that they truly are my heroes, they are amazing fantastic parents and every day I remember how lucky I am.Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10444952585830773530noreply@blogger.com
