Here's a little story about someone I consider a hero and an inspiration.
An ex gf's mom found out about her husband's affair while she was home raising 4 children. They had been HS sweethearts and the husband's job kept him traveling a lot.
After she decided on divorce she picked up the pieces, continued to raise the children and got her real estate license. Ok, not uncommon...so far. A few years later she found out she had breast cancer. She had radical mastectomy w/ removal of lymph on the effected side. Come to find out many years later post chemo/rad and remission, they gave her double the amount of recommended chemo agents; that has led to congestive heart failure and many complications.
Everyday she gets up earlier than most, goes to work, doesn't complain much and keeps on truckin along.
Hero? I think so.
