When I was younger I thought my Daddy was a superhero, what little girl doesn't? It's only now that I realize just how right I was. Because blue cape, or blue collar he's twice hero than superman could ever be.
He can overcome any challenge, battle any (theoretical)demon, and can cook some mean mashed potato's. All without thought of his own well being, only that of those he loves, and moreover protects.
For the past twenty-three years my Daddy has fought hard, alongside my mom against R.R.P, and was strong and brave for her all those years even knowing he could lose her. Well, we recently recived news that brought the twenty-three year battle has reached a whole new level of scary. My mother, who's now forty-six was diagnosed with stage three,non-smoking lung cancer(from papalomas that decended down from her esophagus to her lungs and mutated). On top of that we almost lost her last year to an intestinal kink...most people would have broken down by now, right?
Well not my Daddy, he wasn't named after one of the Lords toughest, disciples for nothing. Twenty-three years, and twenty-five anniversaries later, he remains strong.Now, not only for my mom, but for my sister, myself, along with their families and friends.
Plus, he has had his mother-in-law living with him for the past seven weeks.That's more pressure than most men endure in a life time. Put it all together and anyone would see that this blue-collar family-man, is a class-A Hercules.He's even got the Madi-Grass costume to prove it!
I just hope he never litteraly wears it agin though because every tim he bent oveer to fix his sandals hhe flashed any unlucky bystanders. On his float, in the crowd, or even in a bar/resraunt.
