Dads all want to be their little girl\u2019s heroes. Sally\u2019s dad was no exception. Unfortunately, Sally wasn\u2019t proud of her dad. She never wanted him to come to pick her up at school or to her soccer games.<\/p>\n

Sally\u2019s dad knew she was ashamed of him. He embarrassed her, and knowing it broke his heart. She never imagined that one day he\u2019d be everyone\u2019s hero.<\/p>\n

As a fireman, Jeff Monahan\u2019d once been a very handsome man. There was a photo over the fireplace taken when Sally was eight, before her mom walked out on them.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jeff and his wife, Alice, had been a handsome couple, and Sally had been very proud of them. But a year after the photo was taken, there was a terrible fire in a local factory.<\/p>\n

Jeff and his team had been called in. When a man was trapped in the burning building, Jeff had gone in. He got the man out, but he was badly burned.<\/p>\n

Beauty fades, but courage and kindness last forever.<\/p>\n

His uniform protected his body but it didn\u2019t protect his face. When Jeff came out of that building, he was no longer the most handsome man in town. He\u2019d had skin grafts and plastic surgery, but he was never the same.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sally\u2019s mom looked at Jeff and his bandaged face and packed her bags. Jeff didn\u2019t blame her, he blamed himself. Alice had asked him to quit the force, but he\u2019d refused. If he had quit, he wouldn\u2019t have been disfigured.<\/p>\n

Jeff had loved his job, and he still did. At least at work, no one looked sideways at his scarred face. He was respected and useful.<\/p>\n

Sally\u2019s world turned upside down due to Jeff\u2019s accident and Alice leaving. She\u2019d once been so proud when her dad took her to school! But now, she was afraid someone would see him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want you to walk me to the gate,\u201d Sally told Jeff. \u201cYou can stand on the corner and watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Sally,\u201d Jeff protested. \u201cI want\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care!\u201d she screamed. \u201cI don\u2019t want my friends to see what a MONSTER you are! That\u2019s why mom left! I don\u2019t want to lose my friends too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Since then, Jeff walked Sally to the corner and turned away if other kids walked by. He didn\u2019t want his daughter to be teased and bu\/\/llied because of him.<\/p>\n

Over the next few years, Sally ensured her friends never saw her father. She never brought friends home to visit, and even insisted that he didn\u2019t attend her birthday parties.<\/p>\n

Jeff was a good, loving, supportive dad, and Sally\u2019s attitude made him hurt. He was heartbroken when the school organized a father and daughter dance, and Sally invited her uncle, Jeff\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n

Sally couldn\u2019t believe when Jeff started dating a fellow firefighter. \u201cHow can she kiss you?\u201d she asked him. \u201cLike\u2026Yech!\u201d<\/p>\n

She made the same comment in front of the girl, who replied: \u201cYour father\u2019s scars became invisible the moment I saw his heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sally laughed and rolled her eyes, but she was secretly ashamed of herself. Was she like her mom? Were people\u2019s looks more important to her than their hearts?<\/p>\n

Then she shrugged. Everyone felt the same way! She was sure that if her friends saw her dad, they\u2019d mock her. No way was she going to let that happen just to spare her dad\u2019s feelings!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But one day, fate changed. There was a fire in an apartment building downtown, and Jeff and the other firefighters were called in. The blaze spread quickly, and one resident said someone was still inside on the third floor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jeff immediately went in and twenty minutes later, he came out carrying an unconscious man wrapped in a wet blanket. The man was rushed to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Jeff, no lives were lost. The big surprise came the next day at school. The man Jeff had rescued was Mr. Gardner, the most popular teacher in the school!<\/p>\n

All the students were talking about Jeff, the heroic fireman, had rescued Mr. Gardner and how he already had medals for bravery. \u201cI think we should show him our appreciation!\u201d the class president said.<\/p>\n

All of Mr. Gardner\u2019s students made a decisionto go to the brave fireman\u2019s house and give him a standing ovation. Sally was horrified! They were sure to find out Jeff was her father!<\/p>\n

Sally pretended to be sick and went home early. She locked herself in her room. Hopefully, no one would see her or realize this was her house!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She was cowering behind her curtains when the kids arrived and rang the doorbell. She heard her dad open the door, and the kids started to sing. No one was yelling in disgust!<\/p>\n

Sally crept to the hallway where she could watch. The class president was talking to her father respectfully and looking at his face with admiration.<\/p>\n

\u201cSir,\u201d the class president said. \u201cWould you mind telling me how your face\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff said, \u201cIt\u2019s OK. I was burnt many years ago, getting a man out of another burning building.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSir!\u201d the boy gasped. \u201cThose are the marks of a hero! We\u2019d be so proud if you came to the school and talked to us about your work!\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the other kids were cheering and clapping! Sally couldn\u2019t believe it. They weren\u2019t sh:ocked by her father\u2019s appearance? Then she remembered what Jeff\u2019s girlfriend had said: \u201cYour father\u2019s scars became invisible the moment I saw his heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her friends saw her father\u2019s heart and courage when all she\u2019d ever seen were his scars! Sally came out of hiding and took her dad\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
