Christopher Reeve died 21 years ago today.

He went from Superman to paralyzed.
But his greatest strength showed up after the cape came off.
 
At 26, Christopher Reeve became a global icon.
 
By 42, he couldn’t breathe, move, or even speak without assistance.
 
Most would’ve disappeared from the spotlight.
 
Not Reeve.
 
He leaned in, turning tragedy into advocacy, despair into direction, and silence into story.
 
His most heroic moments?
Didn’t happen in costume.
They happened in the quiet. The painful. The unseen.
 
And this is the kind of story that connects.
Not because it’s polished.
But because it’s painfully real.
