Christopher Reeve was an inspiration, as many people in livejournal here have already mentioned. It is nice to see someone who played a superhero behave like a hero in real life. Given his adversity, just breathing is an inspiration, but he went above an beyond that. That is truly admirable.
Of all things, for such a great man to be cut down by a pressure wound infection is a big bummer. I figure, if I'm going to die, I want it to be in some final dramatic battle, like wrestling a cranky bear. Sure, the fight won't last too long, especially if the bear gets the first hit...
