The 30th Anniversary Of Christopher Reeve's Accident

Thirty years ago today, millions of people were surprised. Christopher Reeve fell off a horse and he was paralyzed. Reeve's accident occurred on May the 27th of 1995. The accident didn't kill him, he was able to survive. He survived for nine years and he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Life was once great for Christopher but his life became so unfair. When he had his accident, he was paralyzed from the neck down. When he died, I felt sad because he would no longer be around. Even though Reeve got hurt, he didn't give up, he went on with his life. We had to say goodbye to him and we had to say goodbye to his wife. People were devastated when his life came to an end. Christopher wasn't just an actor, he was also a friend. [Dedicated to Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) who died on October 10, 2004]
