Your Everyday Hero: Bill B.

I am just a 14 year old. My dad does not have a disease or anything like that but he is my hero. He grew up the oldest of his 3 siblings. He lived in a small town, 3 miles from one end to the other with his parents. He lived a hard life. He got let go from his job when my mom was 9 month pregnant with my older sister. He got back on his feet and says it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He is amazing. He bought and refinished my uncles house when he could not afford it. He held the hand of his own mother and walked her into a rehabilitation center alone. He takes care of my mother, sister and I as well as the rest of his family. Without him, I don't know where his family would be and I thank him for his strength and courage through all of life.
