hc event - Who is your hero? Why are they your hero? Have you ever been disappointed/let down by a hero?
All right, I’m about to get really sappy on y’all. And I just know this is gonna go right to his head, but it’s the truth:
My hero is Sam.
He’s only older than me by mere minutes... but he’s the best big brother anyone could ever ask for. By now, most of the school is aware he put himself through a dangerous sort of employment for the sake of getting a roof back over our family’s head. And he kept that hidden from all of us for so many years. Admittedly, when I found out I was kind of upset and annoyed. I mean, I was the family disappointment, through and through, and then I come to find out he was an underaged stripper? And he let me take all the heat I took for some bad decisions I made as a teenager...
But then I talked to Mom, and Dad, and I got to thinking a lot about it. And yeah, he was an underaged stripper. For the best fucking reasons. He’s the reason we were able to afford a new house. He’s the reason Stevie and Stacie have gotten to spend most of their childhood in a home instead of bouncing from motel to shelter to tent...
So yeah, I’m definitely still the family disappointment, but Sam’s my hero and I wouldn’t trade him for anything, even when he pisses me off.
