Did You Ever Know That You’re My Hero?

Don’t let grief kick your ass.

Random Word Drabble Challenge Day 29 Word Is Nothing

“You’ve never been nothing, and you’ll never be nothing.” His father’s words rumbled across his mind like thunder along a ridge.

Like it was his fault he couldn’t donate — he thought as he sat on the roof of his 60-story apartment — legs dangling over the edge.

He only lost his twin brother. His father who already lost his wife, would now lose two sons.

The test results confirmed he had leukemia, too. He recalled his brother’s last words as the music played in his mind, “Did you ever know that you’re my hero? I would be nothing without you.”

Wind Beneath My Wings (Lyrics) — Bette Midler

Don’t let grief kick your ass. As long as there’s life, there’s hope. Wonder drugs and miracle cures are discovered every day.

A drabble is exactly 100 words, no more, no less. In this case, the random word to build the story around is “nothing.”

Thanks to Nancy Oglesby and Fiction Shorts for the daily challenge.

Here are three other drabbles for your enjoyment.

That’s all for today. Please engage with my article by highlighting something you found interesting and leaving a comment. Come back soon.
