Quote by Ray Smith

“Folks don’t give themselves enough credit. The mother who endures cavities so her children can get braces. The father who works a dead-end job so his kids can have a roof over their heads. The daughter who sacrifices college so she can take care of her disabled mother. They are all heroes.”

“The man laughed. “When my grandpa used to tell me stories, lots of times, he finished by telling me the same thing. They are all the same, boy.

When someone needs something and deserves it, he or she shows up in exactly the right disguise to fit the occasion.”
