I found this in a folder with my mum's things after she had passed. The wonderful life she and dad gave us is reflected in her words but no flat line of text could do it honor.
Mum, Dad and uncle Harry never talked about the war they had fought. They tried really hard not to let on what heroes they and the rest of our family were. Just like most of us, the second generation, were surprised to find out we were wealthy.
My memories of life with them is filled with love, laughter and noise! Acceptance was big too. We had friends and relatives that were muggles, elves, giants and velas. We were taught that the outside does not make a being the inside does.
My sister and I hope this simple little book will help others see that a hero is just someone who does what needs to be done, and that all mums and dads are heroes.
