Up in the sky...
My hero has passed away. Christoper Reeves died Sunday of complications from an infection caused by a bedsore.
Wow, I can remember like it was yesterday seeing Christoper Reeves in his Superman costume. As I watched him on the big screen, I told my mom, "I wanna be Superman when I grow up." She looked at me with such a smile. At that time, my dad would use my mom as a punching bag, so I thought being superman would stop that from happening. I was only 5 when when Superman hit the big screen, and till this day I still want to be Superman.
After his accident in 1995, I realized how much Christoper Reeves meant to me. Here's a man who lost the ability to move most of his body and he still had the "glass half full" attitude. I was left breathless when I saw him on Smallville. Bravo to the WB for giving the true man of steel some much deserved camera time.
I owe allot to Mr. Reeves. inspiring me to want to do good because it's the right thing to do, and never give up on a dream. Maybe that's why he'll always be remembered as Superman. Both of them pretty much mirror each other. To me, Christopher Reeves was and always will be Superman.

He is a legend in all sense of the word. I almost cried when I learned the news of his accident. I was in tears again when I wacthed him move finger at the Barbara Walters special. And when I learned about his passing last nigth, I was heart-broken. He will be missed by all.
