From now on, whenever anyone uses the word "hero" in my presence, I'll just smile to myself and think of Antoinette Tuff.
Here's a woman who actually did it, saved people, put her life on the line, and didn't make it all about her. She made it about the kids, her colleagues, and yes, even the guy who would do all of them harm.
I'm no real fan of organized religion, but Ms. Tuff gains my praise and appreciation for putting her beliefs in action, making a difference, and contributing something good to humankind.
May we all be able to say that at the end of the day, at the end of our days.
