Everyday heroes

We sometimes find inspiration, when we least expect it, while we are chugging through our mundane lives…We find inspiration, not in a epic discovery by a famous scientist, not in a masterpiece by a gifted artist, not in a grand philanthropic venture by a celebrity, but in the simple acts of “everyday heroes”… the patient with debilitating Multiple Sclerosis who still passionately pursues his job; the endearing daughter who is by her sick father’s bedside, daily for months; the exhausted "post-call" resident who stays with a dying patient; the nurse who tirelessly works to save a “crashing patient”; the father with a terminal brain tumor, who smiles and tells his daughter, “daddy loves you and everything will be OK”. It is not grand gestures, but such simple daily acts that make the world a better place. So let's appreciate the everyday heroes in our lives and strive to be one ourselves.
