Dogpool’s Definition of a Superhero:  An individual, who despite his or her flaws, does what is needed to be done. 

Mom-  I’ve never personally lost anyone I deeply cared for.  I’ve never raised a child.  I’ve never suffered severe depression or ever contemplated suicide.  These are all things that I cannot imagine.  Cannot fathom.  My mother was in love.  I think I understand what love is…I would die for my brothers.  I would die for my sister.  I would die for my gf.  My mother was in love and had her heart stripped away from her in an instant.  No warning, no goodbye, no nothing.  He died in a car accident.

Now…I never knew this until much later…but she thought of ending it all after his passing.  But she didn’t.  She decided my brother and I were worth it.  Worth the struggle.  Worth the pain of seeing her deceased husband in both of our faces.  Worth the tears and the loneliness.  She, a single mother now, raised two children while in a seemingly endless state of misery.  I am here today because of her self-less attitude.  I will die a happy/accomplished man if I manage to emulate even an ounce of her strength in my life.  Daredevil is cool and all.  Deadpool is awesome.  But that my friends, that is a real superhero.
