In the wake of the Sydney hostage ‘siege‘, and in the wake of several schools being attacked by Islamic extremists/Taliban in Pakistan, there are ordinary people who will step up.
These are the people I choose to believe in.
This was a man, not a boy, who stopped a suicide bomber from killing more people at his school.
These were ordinary people, with ordinary lives, with extraordinary hearts and spirits.
Your families grieve for your passing and having lost you. I salute your bravery and sacrifice, and mourn that such wonderful human beings were taken from this earth.
