Just sharing thoughts on my one hero.
In the world where you get so turned off reading the newspapers filled with violence, killing, stealing, more killing...I remember every time I saw news about Pope JPII in the newspaper, it would be good news for me, a ray of hope for mankind. (Except for his funeral of course 
I mourned him as millions of people around the world.)
I mourned him as millions of people around the world.)He was an athlete (soccer), a nature-lover, a writer, a poet...loved the arts & theater. 
He loved the media and took advantage of it to broadcast peace and love. I remember news about the Berlin wall being brought down, reuniting East & West Germany, and later read about the significant roll he played in it. I remember the news when he was shot, and I remember the news when he seeked his shooter and forgave him.

I'm glad I got a chance to be in Rome, and to shake his hand (!).
Mother Theresa is my other hero!
