Robin is like a little brother to Chris. So much admiration I see from those photographs.

It's amazing. Both of these men were an inspiration to so many people. And when Chris needed him most, Robin was his Superman 😊

[janicelinett]

To me he will always be Superman in or out of his chair. He is with Dana and free from that body. Christopher Reeve is still flying.

Two of the most beautiful, courageous, and generous souls...They are now together, I hope...reminiscing...making plans for new adventures

He said my recovery time is a lot quicker than it used to be! With a smile! God bless him and anyone who has to go through any battle in the dark!

I recently just saw Super/Man: Christopher Reeve story at Sundance, and it really dived in to the relationship between Robin Williams and Christopher. Glenn Close tragically said in the documentary, “If Christopher Reeve were still alive today, so would Robin.” 😢

Just gives you hope no matter what hearing his voice.

This is pretty much a positive message that needs to be way more out there than it is.
