Looking for native speaker to proof-read tiny short story
Hello!
I wrote a short one-shot this weekend and I was wondering if one of our native speakers would be willing to proof-read it for me before I publish it. It is a rather sad one about Sherlock and John as old men. Not much work, just ~780 words (could be done via pm). Corrections and constructive criticism of all kinds would be welcome.
Thank you!

… and his friends and all his family and I’ve no idea why I’m telling you this.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
