    I remember when Dana died of cancer just 18 months after her husband. Will became an orphan at just 13. He and I are the same age. I can't imagine going through something so devastating at such a young age.

    1) Their son was gorgeous looking just like Reeves. 2) the youngest talking about the quiet moments of safety, happiness, etc, resonated with me as my mother is gone, too 3) the story of Reeves still brings tears to my eyes.

    I still remember when I saw the movie “the Superman” (1978) for the first time on TV when I was a kid, around the age of 9 or 10. Not only did I love the movie, I thought Christopher Reeve was the most handsome man in the world. But it wasn’t just his looks or acting. Somehow I could feel that he was a decent human, as young as I was. I became an instant fan. I saw the sequels of the Superman and loved them all, forget the reviews. Fast forward to the 90s, I was in high school when the news of his accident and paralysis came. I remember that day as well to this day, as it was such a shock and I felt heartbroken. In the 2000s, I saw Dana Reeve in quite a few interviews on TV she did then to help raise awareness for her husband’s cause with spinal cord injuries. I was amazed by the bright and positive energy she exuded when she would talk. When she died shortly after, I couldn’t believe it, and my heart went to their son Will, that I knew was still a teenager, having followed the Reeve family’s story since the 90’s.
    Over the past nearly two decades I would sometimes rewatch the Superman films and other works by Christopher Reeve, and when I did I always thought of his family and prayed and hoped they were doing ok. I was waiting for a documentary like this. It’s still heartbreaking, what happened to both Christopher and Dana, but however bittersweet, it is touching to see and hear how the three siblings have supported one other and I’m so glad Will had his two older half siblings to be his rock after both his parents tragically passed.
    My prayers and heart will continue to go to them all.
    The film is not being shown where I live currently so I hope that I get to see it when it becomes available for streaming. I also hope many people can get to see it and be inspired by their story of resilience, strength, hope, and love ❤️

    What an inspirational story! Diane, thank you for sharing the beautiful story of an extraordinary American family filled with love and the sacrifice of Mrs. Reeve who had to endure her daily life's challenges to provide care for her husband, the superhero figure. I truly think that Mrs. Reeve was the real superhero herself. Through her actions, she shows real love, loyalty and dignity for her life partner. Thank you, ABC for this clip.
    They really meant for each other. I looked up knowing the couple passed away only 2yrs apart from each other about 20yrs ago. Wow. Time flies.

It was at Friday night skiing under the lights and my first time on skis! Surreal for sure.

    Christopher Reeve was such a talented actor! Watching him on screen was something special. One of the few actors in the mainstream Hollywood who never had any kind of drama surrounding his career.
    It’s so sad how these days we don’t have actors who both talented and humble and Christopher Reeve was. For me he will always be THE SUPERMAN! He may no longer be alive but his films and Legacy will live on and I hope the future generation won’t ever forget him.
    He was gone too soon, when the world needed Superman the most he was called to go home to a better place. ❤

Dana was an example of a pure, beautiful soul, and human beautiful inside and out! Among today's shallowness and narcissism, and celebs who only care about fame & money, people like Christopher & Dana shine as the true essence of real, unbreakable love and humanity! So many people yearn and search for this kind of love today: honest, selfless, undefeated, strong, and yet this kind of love is almost nowhere to be found nowadays! ♥
