This is a really good story, Carol. Congratulations on the win. Well-deserved.

You're right, heroes do come in all shapes, sizes and genders.

Congatulations again and thanks for sharing this lovely moment.

This was a really good piece. I enjoyed reading and still remember reading the story of that from many months ago. This flowed really well.

good job, though I feel like I'm reading it late, I really liked it.

    I am very fortunate to have my son. He is a special young man with a heart of gold...The brain damage keeps him at a younger age but his heart is bigger than any I know. Smiles to you, Carol

Wow! What an inspirational story. You hero is your son who fought so hard against all odds and made it through the surgury but I think the doctor who did this operation is also a hero.

This is a beautifully told story and a wonderful entry for the contest. I'm glad it had a happy ending. I can't believe he could wake up in the operating room and coo like that, amazing. Good luck in the contest.

    It was an amazing day...I was 19 and thought I would be planning my son's funeral. God had other plans. He is a special young man, suffering from brain damage, but sharing his heart with all.
    Smiles to you....
