kellinatorYou know, it's not often that I get emotional over a celebrity death, but I just found out from opening my friends page that Christopher Reeve has died.
I've got some odd gaps in my cultural history, and I think somehow I missed ever watching a Superman movie all the way through. It doesn't matter. Faced with one of the most horrible things that can happen to a person, Reeve didn't give up. He fought for his own recovery and for the recovery of people not yet injured. Now that's a hero.
Rest in peace, Superman.
