Howard Meet Howard

Two Howards, one winner

One has a heart of steel, the other a heart of a man

One looking for a lost hero, one being a hero to a boy with brown eyes

Thousands welcome one; another is welcomed by two- a wife and son

One lives in the tower he works, the other live in a humble house

One Howard has money, fans, alcohol, women, people who worship the man with the heart of steel who worships the hero in the ice

One Howard has some money, a few friends, wife, son, and the man has already mourned for the hero, he now is an average joe

The Howard who lost had everything, yet nothing

The Howard who won was thought to have nothing, but had everything

Two Howards, one winner

What made the other win?

One is known by Howard, the other simply by Dad.
