I sent this out to a few folks by e-mail, but I want you to see it, too! :o)

HER HERO
by Paul Harvey,
from his book For What It's Worth

In the wake of Chicago's worst-ever winter, when all the
rooftops were loaded (many overloaded) with snow,
Robert McGarth saw his wife go into the backyard garage
to fetch some boxes. Seconds later he heard the crash.
Looking out, he saw the roof of the garage had caved in.

Without stopping for his hat or coat, McGarth ran from the
house---grabbed a snow shovel---and called out for neigh-
bors to help. Yelling and digging with his sweat freezing on
his face, frantically throwing snow and pulling away boards,
he heard her voice and then saw her hand!

He kept digging and throwing and pulling and within minutes
he had his wife in his arms and was sobbing. "Are you all
right?"

She was all right.

I would not tell you what I am about to tell except that a
neighbor saw and snitched . . .

Mrs. McGarth had gone into the garage through one door
and out through another. She was safe in the house when
she looked out and saw her husband digging and shouting
orders and throwing lumber and she couldn't let her gallant
rescuer down.

She put her coat on again and went back out
and went back in through the back door of the garage and
allowed husband Bob to be her hero.

And one final thought:
Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished. -- Og Mandino
