Every year I love to dress up for Halloween. this year I have been everything from a Computer nerd to a Superhero. That got me into the though of what makes a good superhero? A superhero is someone that we all look up to, someone that makes us believe in something more then we think possible. For me a superhero has always been my Mom and my Dad. They despite all the crap I put them through put up with me.
