Your Everyday Hero: Patricia And John F.

I cannot nominate one of my parents without the other. Together they are amazing. They have been married for 33 years, and have been through so much. Their youngest child, and only son, was killed in a car accident at 18, even though he wasn't driving. Crohn's disease, heart disease, Burger's disease, are just a few of the problems my father has had since 1983. They still demonstrate love for each other and their two remaining daughters and grandchildren. We lost our grandfather in March, and to this day my mother and father attend to the need of my grandmother. My father also teaches young high school girls their dream for becoming an amazing pitcher for windmill softball, free of charge. They donate their time to all. They have made me the person I am today, and I couldn't think of two better people to nominate as heroes.
