Real Life Super Heroes

Dear World:

I have always loved Marvel superhero movies. (Or just superpower movies in general.)

Captain Hammer and sidekick Peachtree

So I got to thinking, you know what? I know some pretty amazing people that are real life super heroes. For example: firefighters, military men, fathers, and missionaries.

Wait, missionaries?

Yeah. Some of those guys do some crazy stuff. My friend Brenton is in Brazil and tackled a Boa. No big deal. Cole was at gun-point the other day.

Dang. These kids are brave little suckers.

So what made me think this was a letter I got from an undercover superhero in Armenia. I finally figured it out! He's a real life superhero. I'm convinced. I've put together pieces and hints from letters and I knew it was all a cover. He's got super powers, and of course, enemies.

"I feel like I'm always putting out fires" as well as "I'd lay down my life for these people" were real clues, but it wasn't until he fell in a manhole that I knew there were people out to capture him.

Anyway, don't forget to express your gratitude to the real life superheroes in your life. The tights might be missing, but the bravery and selflessness is always there.

Here's to my superhero-- Captain Hammer.
(super) NAILED IT.

Love,
Monica
