DANA REEVES

DANA REEVES

It's been a few days.. but i don't think it's too late to write about her. I watched her on Oprah once... i cried (i did write about it in my blog). I truly felt for her... i'm not certain which made me cry most but i think it's a combination of all those emotions i felt watching her there. She was one strong woman. Proof of true love. She was the woman i wish i could be but know i could never be. She stayed by her man for 9 years after the accident.. she didn't give up on him so he lived on for that long. Reading excerpts from christopher reeve's autobiography... U'd know how strong she was to be able to support the Superman.

Hearing the news on my way to work... suddenly,i felt sad. Really sad... especially when i think of her son, Will (13). He was so strong when he lost his father, it brought tears to my eyes. I can't imagine what he's going thru losing his mother now... will he be the same strong boy i saw on Oprah? I hope so.

Here's a link to the Reeve's foundation :

Christopher Reeve Foundation

They fund Spinal Cord Injuries research. You can make a contribution or just go thru the site & educate urself. It's kind of interesting... i've always liked reading about the nervous system 'though i only understand half of what i read... but it's worth reading.
