Your Everyday Hero: Shawn C.

I met Shawn a few years ago. She is my hero as she is everything I've ever wanted to be. Perfect, no...and doesn't claim to be. She's been challenged with life threatening illness more than once. She is a true miracle. Shawn has more inner strength than anyone I have ever known. She's helped me learn and taught me to grow from my mistakes. She gives me hope when I have none. She believes in me and helps me to believe in myself. Shawn is an amazing woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, and true friend. I only wish I could share what my friend, my hero means to me.
