Courage doesn't always involve a visible heroic act.  Sometimes, it is the invisible acts of courage that are the hardest.  Don't get me wrong, it takes great courage to fight deadly disease, lead troops into battle and even stand up for one's beliefs.  It also takes great courage to remain still and silent when you are asked to let go of something you love.

I dedicate this post to one of my dearest friends who is one of the bravest people I know.  Take strength and heart no matter what task you are given.  Your silent courage will not be overlooked.

I love you dear friend.
