“What we have done for ourselves dies with us, what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.” -Albert Pike
Heroes sometimes get recognized for their heroic acts while they’re alive and with us.
But more often than not (much like many great artists), their heroism is not fully recognized and appreciated until they’re gone.
For it is then, armed with time, distance and perspective, that we can truly see how amazing they were. How many unnoticed, and unsung, daily, heroic acts they did. The full breadth and scope of their life comes into the light.
To all the unsung heroes out there–especially if they’re still alive with us–let us take a moment to today to thank and be grateful for them.
P.S. – Today’s is the one year anniversary of my hero, my best friend, my dad’s passing. This post is in honor of him and all the unsung heroes out there. Thank you for everything.
Thinking of you and your Dad, with you, today, Johnny.
