Rest in Peace, Dana Reeve



I am sick with grief at the loss of Dana Reeve, superman's wife. I pray that her soul may rest in peace. My heart is truly broken for her son, Will. I wonder who will raise him and take care of him. He's only 13. She had such a lovely spirit. Loving and supporting her husband through his illness. She gave a new meaning to the vows "in sickness and in health". She's an inspiration to both women and men. She was amazing, not only to her family but to others. She stood up and fought for people with spinal cord injuries. Lending her voice two weeks after her husband died to John Kerry's presidential campaign and drawing attention to the need for research to improve the quality of life of people with spinal cord injuries. I watched her interview with Oprah and was amazed at her courage despite her diagnosis of lung cancer. There was something so profoundly honest about her. Her relationship with her son seemed so pure, so deep. They seemed to have such a special connection, a deep understanding of one another. Why, why, why did this happen? Perhaps Christopher struck a deal with God and asked to have his wife by his side. Will, you will be okay. Stay strong and be the resilient person your parents have raised you to be. God bless you, Will!
