The Innocent Hero We all need heroes, no matter how old or young we are. Someone we look toward or to, to give us inspiration, someone who lifts us up when we are down. Some get paid large sums of money, sometimes they get a thank you, and sometimes they receive praise they shy from because they are just being themselves. I know of just a man. He saved me when I was ten years old and taught me in one “at bat” that life can change on a dime, or perhaps a diamond.Not long after my mom had moved us to the town where I spent most of my life, I ...

Low Flying Angels It became common to hide in the dark. As a child, I heard my parents quarreling and fighting, mostly at night. I sought solace and security under my bed and in my closet. I recall wanting to make sure I could only see my hands. If I had them, I could pray that my world would become a better place. With my hands, I could fix all that was broken. I could dry the tears in my eyes as well. As life progressed, I learned to close my eyes to what I saw. I could not close my ears, however. The screams came from a vengeful grandmo...
