Hero Quote by Lily White
““I was more statistical than that, a daddy's girl who expected to marry a man that was tall and strong, smart and put together, someone who could carry me though life one handed while solving every problem tossed in our path. I wanted a hero to help me through the tough times, so I never bothered exploring whether I could be a hero myself.””
