be someone's hero

I just think it would be lovely to be someone’s hero.

my sister saw my 43things list and told me that “I was already 50 people’s hero” and that “I need to listen more because they tell me so often”. I then told her most people were joking and she told me that I was her hero.

Seriously.

That short exchange was really important to me.

I was spending time with my grands this weekend, they saw me making entries here on 43things and wanted to know about it. I explained how the site works, goals, cheers, etc. My 9 year old grandson informed me that I could show this goal as having been achieved because he did a paper at school weeks ago and listed me as his hero. Even his sister told him how sweet that was.

I have decided to amend the original entry about this goal. I want someone to tell me I’m their hero. It doesn’t have to be someone close to me. I am changing this based on a comment I received on one of my other goals. That fellow 43er told me I was already a hero, that made me feel really good.

I want someone close to me to tell me I’m their hero
before I die, and really mean it.

i would love to be someones hero!!! like ryan sheckler is to me!!!!

I want to be someone WORTH looking up to.

I can’t think of anything that would make me feel more accomplished!

The way I was a hero was really obscure, but working at DisneyWorld for 7 months, being “friends with” Tigger, I met so many thousands of people from around the world and the look in kids’ eyes when they give Tigger a hug for the first time is SO fantastic. There’s a lot of crap he has to put up with, but Tigger had a pretty sweet deal when you think about it. =)

... It’s nice =) ... But at the same time it’s kinda pressuring, you know… I feel like now I have to prove I deserve the title … =/
