Some folk have something about them we all admire,

recognise or respect.  Bravery is, perhaps,

too simple a term.  Lack of choice – necessity -

draws out the hero in all of us.  Frequently,

all of us are amazed at what can be – and is –

done in extreme circumstances.  Living through a

particular time, fighting one of life’s spectres –

ill health, bereavement, disadvantage – or being

there for someone else to rely on.  Miracles,

shaping us up, changing our integrity and

our understanding.  Perhaps this is an aspect

of a person you can never put your finger

on.  Perhaps that is a quality we respect.
