who is your unsung hero and why............................?

I am thinking of that song by Tina Arena... until I clicked on the link and there she is... :) A really great song... Thank you for sharing, froufrou... Anyways... my unsung hero is... my grandpa... I remember him when I was a kid... He was my savior from our then "troubled" home... I was so young and he would always take me home with him and ask my grandma to prepare a good meal... He got blinded from an eye cataract when I was growing up and once, I performed a song on stage... Being my "number one fan", he went to see me... well... "hear" me in that case... I remember... I can still clearly remember him... I miss him and I hope, wherever he is now, he is resting well... Thank you for this question, froufrou... :')

edit: Me too, a big Tina fan... Bought her album "In Deep" in cassette tape... ;)

arrgh! The vid broke...? Sorry to hear that... That must be very special... Tape... yes, that was the only thing I could afford at that time, and that came from saving up from my allowance... I think I was in 6th grade or 1st year high school, I don't remember... :)

That is interesting that so much energy goes into sports. I know people who have been trained not to be emotional but it's ok to yell and scream at a sporting event or for men to touch each other on the butt when they are normally homophobic and would never do that if the person wasn't wearing a football uniform.

I dedicate to my sons. One of them passed away and the song describes the one not needing the spotlight and that was the way he was. My other son has been with me through all we went through and he took care of me, putting me first all of the time. I have really messed up my life and he has helped me and lived a decent life the whole time so I don't have to worry about him.

My parents for giving me a decent up bringing! As a kid you never appreciate the sacrifices they must have made for you. You just don't see it do you? They both worked hard so we could muddle along. I am one of 5 so it wasn't easy. My parents taught me good money management. Save up for the things you want and if you haven't got the money, then go without. I have never been over drawn at the bank or had credit loans. I go without. I see people taking "easy" pay-day loans with interest rates of 4,000%, once you get into that you have no chance of getting out.

besides jesus of course, my dead father that i never met. i dont know why, and i dont think he should be. my family have always told me he was a drunk and the army messed him up and he was a very bad man at times and messed up the entire family, but ever since i was a young boy i have always admired him so much, my mum said he once threw a gay off london bridge as a queens guard what a tank.

I don't know if I can claim any heroes... just a few people who have made a big difference in my life.

It's not the normal people, for me. It's those people who reach out extended hands, open their hearts and are patient, kind and caring... all the while, showing me the way.

I think they'll know who they are. :)

Dylan Thomas Christian. He was a boy that worked all of his life to fight cancer. He had hope up until the day he left this earth, and I praise him for that. <3
