Hercules
were
you
not.
Neither
were
you
John
Wayne
or
Michael
Jordan.
You
were
less
admired
in
your
own
time.
But,
when
the
time
came
and
you
could
have
called
down
legions
of
angels
just
before
that
first
nail
went
in
,
chosen
not
to go
through
with
it,
you
lovingly,
silently
withstood
what
we
would
not withstand,
what
we
deserved.
That's
why,
more
than
being
my
Hercules,
my
John
Wayne, my
Michael
Jordan,
you
are
my
hero.
The
greatest
hero
that
ever
lived.
