Dr. Laura:
I've heard you repeat the qualities of a real man many times in the past 18 years of listening to your show. I was watching a news program last week with my hot stud boyfriend (also known as my husband), and a story came on about a "real man" in the northern California area where there are wildfires who put his family on a rescue helicopter. It could only hold four people, so he put his family on first, and he said he would wait for help to return for him. He told his family that he loved them, and to remember all the good times they had had, and he hoped he would see them soon.
The flight crew, as well as the family, did not think they would see this real man alive again. Thankfully, he was still alive and well when the helicopter was able to come back and get him. My husband said he would do the same for me in that situation, and I could see in his eyes that he meant every word.
Thank you, Mother Laura, for teaching me what a REAL man is (and thankfully, that's the kind of man I chose!).
