done so much, Will. You've changed so many lives. You should be proud." Will shook his head. "I'm not a hero. I just did what was right. What anyone would have done." Ruth smiled. "That's exactly what makes you a hero. You don't see yourself as one. You just see the work that needs to be done, and you do it." Will was silent for a moment, thinking about her words. He had never thought of himself as a hero. He had just tried to do what was right, to fight for justice, to make a difference. But maybe that was what it meant to be a hero — not to be perfect, not to be fearless, but to keep fighting, keep pushing, keep trying. "Thank you, Ruth," he said. "For everything. For being my sister. For believing in me. For never giving up on me." Ruth reached over and took his hand. "You don't have to thank me, Will. You're my brother. That's what family does. We support each other. We believe in each other. We never give up on each other." Will squeezed her hand, feeling a warmth spread through him. He had been given so much, and he had been able to give so much back. His life had been a journey, a struggle, a triumph. And he was grateful for every moment of it.
