Over the period of 5 months plus, Nicki (I use her known name since she chose to reveal herself to you all, also) and I believed in fate and destiny. We believe we've been given this cross (PD) to bear because there's an ultimate plan for us. We also believe that our "so similar" lives were destined to cross paths and combine. During the past 5 months many "cosmic" (as Nicki and I like to call them) things occurred......songs, bumper stickers, posters, etc. would pop up and hit us like a "ton of bricks" out of nowhere to remind us of things we had just said or liked. While I was writing my intro. and dedication on Sunday night a song came over the radio. I never listened to the actual words before, but something told me to "stop and listen". I did and immediately thought of Nicole.......Yesterday, when I arrived at work, turned on the computer, and sat down to type my intro. and dedication, this same song came on the moment I was about to type! Cosmic? You better believe it, because Nicole and I surely do..............So, here it is, Nicole Antonia.........thanks for being my "HERO" and showing me how to be strong! HERO There?s a hero If you look inside your heart You don?t have to be afraid Of what you are There?s an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you?ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you It?s a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you?ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don?t let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You?ll find the way And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you?ll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
