You don't raise a hero, you raise a son.
And if you treat him like a son,
he'll turn out to be a hero,
Even if it's just in the eyes of his child.
Tuesday evening was parent-teacher conference night for team C&C. Both went well, but it was a moment we spent with Elijah's teacher, Kate, that marked the highlight for me. E's class completed a worksheet which answered the question of "Who is your hero?" Kate pulled our son's worksheet from her file folder telling us she teared up when she read it.
And then I did, too.
There is no one in this world - and I mean...In. This. World. - that I admire and esteem more than my husband. He is, to my grown-up heart, the very best of what a man can be.
It would seem our son's little-boy heart agrees.
You don't raise a hero, you raise a son.
And if you treat him like a son,
he'll turn out to be a hero,
Even if it's just in the eyes of his child.
That's a legacy I'm all for.
