Heroines can be Heroines.

It took 19 years of loving, heartfelt care and self-sacrifice. Heroism I call it.
“It was Gertruda that saved me, and I’ll never forget it,” Mr Grzebski told news channel TVN24 of his recovery.Mrs Grzebski is reported to have moved her husband every hour to prevent bed sores.
“I cried a lot, and I prayed a lot,” Mrs Grzebski said on Polsat television.
“Those who came to see us kept asking: ‘When is he going to die?’ But he’s not dead.”
Heroism is a lifestyle. It is. Really.
And Mr. Grzebski concludes:
“I’ve got nothing to complain about.”
Nothing! At all. Maybe he was 19 years in a coma. But all those whom he ever loved, were still there for him.
Guys, girls, let’s never forget this. Ever. Mrs Grzebski’s my heroine.

I am inspired. And I am convicted.
“Heroism is a lifestyle.”
Wow. Thanks for sharing, David.
Wow! That is what I call love.
Interesting, it puts a whole new meaning in the word “enthusia”.
I heard of this story. Amazing.
Btw, where’s that post we’ve “all been waiting for”?
Wow! That is awesome. I’ve had heroism on my mind alot lately. Thanks for the inspiration.
It’s true – love is not a feeling. It’s a commitment.
Write on!
I had not heard that story anywhere else! Thank you for sharing it. I hope I will be found as faithful…....I really can’t fathom what it feels like to have such a different life with communism being gone and all the changes that came with that. What a bizarre situation to confront every day after waking.
I’m looking forward to your next post.
Still looking forward to your next post.
Watching someone care for a loved one who’s either unresponsive or almost entirely gone is one of the most amazingly heroic things you can witness. To save someone from a fire takes a matter of minutes, but to stay by someone’s side can take years, even a lifetime.
My dad’s only forty-seven, but he was diagnosed with a fatal, degenerative, brain disorder a couple years ago. Due to personality changes, he no longer acts like the man my mom married, sometimes he even says cruel things, but she’s still supportive and strong; taking care of him as much has he’ll allow her to and holding the rest of our family together through this crisis. She doesn’t know anyone sees, but I see, and I admire her ever day for her strength and faith.
