Hero

People have mixed feelings about social media for many different reasons, I am one of them. I have used social media to get out our story as well as save memories. That has been one thing that Facebook has been great for, especially since they added the "on this day". Yesterday was one of those days when "on this day" made me smile. Back on April 3, 2015, Adina Levitan posted a YouTube video of the song Hero by Evermore, stating it was for Ian. I went back and listened to it, found the words and had a moment. I wanted to share the words with you.

HERO
Evermore
There's some days that are bad right from the start
There's some words that seem to leave a mark
There are times you'd rather an arrow through the heart
Than to keep walking this tightrope in the dark

I saw you stumble, I saw you fall
I saw you rise up above it all

You don't know dear what the day may bring
All of us here we will stand and sing
You're my hero, the way you go through it all
You don't know dear what the day may bring
All of us here we will stand and sing
You're my hero, you're my hero

Only we know you faced the great divide
Only you know what it took to make it to the other side
You started down your monster when every muscle wanted to hide
And I wish you hadn't had to, but now you're stronger inside

I saw you stumble, I saw you fall
I saw you rise up above it all

You don't know dear what the day may bring
All of us here we will stand and sing
You're my hero, the way you go through it all
You don't know dear what the day may bring
All of us here we will stand and sing
You're my hero, you're my hero

You light up my life, you light up my life, you light up my life

You were just waiting for the day to arrive
Just a bird in a cage waiting for the sunlight
You were just waiting, but now is the time 
'Cause you are alive, you are alive

You don't know dear what the day may bring
All of us here we will stand and sing
You're my hero
'Cause you're my hero, cause you're my hero
'Cause you're my hero, you're my hero

Adina, thank you for this. Thank you for the reminder of so many things in life and for reminding me that no matter what you can go on...you never know what today will bring, nor tomorrow so always remember to treasure each and every moment as if it was the last.
