Share A Hero Story NowYour Everyday Hero: Preston
My son Preston has always been a kindhearted boy. But tears came to my eyes when he asked my wife's friend's sister to dance. She has a mental disorder that makes her seem to be in a distant world. The look of kindness in his eyes while he danced with her made war and pain and violence seem to be a distant thing.
He danced with her for thirty minutes without breaking a special connection between their eyes. I could see the compassion in his heart while he danced. After the dance, he told me, "She said nobody had asked her to dance before. She also said that she felt like she was sixteen again and at the homecoming dance she had never had." I know my son will grow up to be a very nice, kindhearted, and special man. He inspires me to be the same.

He is a special young man who recognizes the needs of others. You have raised Preston well and we are all better for the job you have done. Thank you.

That is such a beautiful story. I hope your son never loses this gift that he has to make something go from black and white, to vibrant colours.
