My heroes: The people who keep me going.

In life, we cross paths with many people. Some are merely just random people, but then some become our greatest treasures. I think Christopher Reeve said it best when he said, and I quote, "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure, inspite of overwhelming obstacles."  Unfortunately, life can get the better of each of us at times, and it can hit hard when it does. That is where faith comes in. In our darkest hours, our faith brings us through whatever it is we are dealing with.

This is my first blog ever, so I thought I would dedicate it to the handful of people I have come to greatly admire through my life. Some I've known all of my life, some just a few years, and some, I've never had the pleasure to meet in person, yet in a way, it seems I've known them all of my life, as well.

These few people have made me into a better person by having had the complete honor knowing them. When I have one of those days where I just don't want to face the world and all of its drama, it is these people who remind me that nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself enough.

First I want give a shout up to my Aunt Doris(Doe Doe)  in Heaven. Not a day goes by I don't think of you. There are no words to describe how much I miss you. You're foreve my gaurdian angel. I love you so much, always and forever. To my Grandmother Betty(MeMe), my Mom, Jeannine, my 6 long time best friends, Ami McCarty, Shane and Debby Jones, Carissa Bennett, Stephanie Sides, Schaley Allen, my cousins, Sharon Smith and Paula Griffith,my musical NAI friend, Jen Telford, and to my web friends, David and Paul DiMuzio, Luke and Dawson Van Pelt, and to all of my Fragrantica friends, Michele, Audryna, John, Deb, Guusjes, Ellen, Neil, Carole, Susan, Nyoka, Mandi, Mary, Marlen, Linda, Heft, Jack, Indigo, Marika, Rosemary, Anne, Marisa, Susanna, Arrington. I am a better person because I have all of you in my life. Each one of you mean so much to me, and I love all of you so much. -Josh Bokaie
