Vision or a Pixel

Christopher Reeve (aka) Superman has passed away Sunday. You may ask me why is this is in my Blog. The fact that when I went to open this Blog, I was going to name it Vision or a Pixel. The subject was to be about pictures. My writing skills shall improve over time with this Blog. I figured I would post something each day. So the second day I failed. Not a good step to start but then again you have to crawl before you can walk.

Christopher Reeve had a vision of walking again. I can tell you he is right now. He is among the stars looking down at us now. I recall seeing the TV that day when his accident happens. I was in MUSC rehabilitation in the SCI ward.  I am a T-2 Paraplegic due to a gunshot wound. I had learned more about the spinal cord while being in there then I did my whole then 38 years of living. The severity of his injury was well known to me. He is listed more a Quadriplegia.  My prayers were with him that day and also his family today. I recall thanking God that I was not in the shape he was in.

 I wrote him a letter after getting out and got one from him that was dictated. Although I have not been giving to his funds Christopher Reeve Foundation (CRF)  they always have sent me information on his research because of his funds. I have just read his book Nothing Is Impossible : Reflections on a New Life, a few months ago and was thinking I could have wrote one just as good has he done or maybe better. Many views that he had has cross my mind and he uses humor to get him through many days. He will be miss and soon forgotten but I hope the seed that he has planted will grow on.

God Bless You Christopher Reeve
