Your Everyday Hero: Othella And Bill S.

My heroes just happen to be my parents. Mom and Dad have always been there for us kids through the rough times and the good times. My parents were foster parents to many children for over 40 years and have only retired due to the ill health of my mother. During their lifetime, they have brought joy to children who have not seen any and have shown compassion, courage, commitment and caring for everyone they have come into contact with. I only hope that in my lifetime I can become even half the person that my parents have both been. I have been shown a great example and want everyone to know how special these two people really are to me and everyone they know.
