Raul Hermes: My father, my best friend, my fighter, and an ever loving provider. A person who has lived his whole life serving others and doing what he can as selflessly as he can. Glioblastoma shook our world last autumn, but just like everything else my Dad does, he took in stride and took the challenge head on. 2 craniotomies , 40 rounds of radiation, and over 100 chemotherapy pills later, he’s still kicking and now apparently running, conquering everything one step at a time! Through all the ups and downs of this journey he has continued to be a beacon of hope, and a true inspiration to all. I love you Dad, thank you for showing me what it is to be a strong man and a man of good character.
