![]() ![]() It actually does make sense, and sense goes by the name of Ralph Roberts. So, along with writing books I can’t put down, making great characters (who tend to get killed off more times than I care to count) and just generally being awesome, Stephen King is also able to bring my grandfather to life? Makes perfect sense, right? Yes, don’t forget which blog you are reading! ![]() And being able to talk to my grandfather one last time is something that I would seriously consider sacrificing at least one limb for.īut, at least I have my memories. So all I am left with is memories, and a few faded photographs. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away nearly 14 years ago. One of the few people who loved me unconditionally was my grandfather, and I will never forget that. In fact, he supported every one of my obsessions, even though he did not necessarily understand all of them. He supported my love of astronomy by getting me a telescope when I was thirteen. Most of my best childhood memories involve my grandparents in some fashion. My grandparents lived two hours away from us, so I spent a lot of time there as a child. ![]() I was lucky enough to have one set of living grandparents throughout most of my childhood. In other words, I am talking about my grandfather. He was a human with no special abilities, other than the ability to make me feel loved and protected at all times. He tried to do what he believed was right, and make the world a little bit better of a place when he could. He was a man who often had a lot at thrown at him, but he always stepped up to the plate. However, none of these guys come close to my number one childhood hero. The very definition of a hero in other words. And all struggle with decisions they have made, even if they believed the decision was for the greater good. Currently, Oliver Queen is my “show boo,” as Jax Teller is dead to me and Raylan Givens has ridden off into the sunset.Īll are good men. Often, decisions are made, and second-guessed for many, many years after the fact, even when the consequences have long passed. In other words, sometimes what’s right and what’s wrong is not clear-cut. Rather, life is gray, and an infinite number of shades at that. After all, life is hardly ever black and white. The best kind of heroes are ones who we can relate too. In other words, someone who is human, and not necessarily endowed with any supernatural or other special abilities. Someone who may question his/her actions, and who possibly even regrets some of those actions. And if you don’t, you are either lying, or you don’t have blood in your veins and are fueled by ice water instead.įor me, my favorite kind of hero is someone who is not perfect. ![]()
