- Actor Christopher Reeve, known for his role as Superman, died in 2004 nine years after he was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident. Dana Reeve died from lung cancer just a year-and-a-half later. Will Reeve, now 26, discusses overcoming such tremendous grief at a young age, pursuing a career in sports journalism and continuing his parents' work to cure paralysis. In a note to his 13-year-old self, he says there's nowhere to go but up after his lowest point.

Looks like Christopher and Dana did a fine job.
Movie Facts fine? Or do u mean excellent
Absolutely 💯❤
I agree Will seems like a good dude.
Will is the perfect combination of his mother and father both physically, emotionally, and of course - within. What a fine gentleman he has grown in to. Will, your father and mother are looking down on you and are so proud of the man you have become.
Will looks just like his father with his mother's eyes.
I don't see Dana's eyes.
@@RK831 I just looked at some of your other comments. Every one of them is negative and often hateful. If you're kind to people, you'll see that they're usually kind in return. Take some breaths.
This made me cry.. what a lovely tribute to his parents and to the couple that he stayed with.. very touching ❤️
He looks so much like his father.
God Bless you Will.
He's a truly beautiful soul his he turned out to be a beautiful man
I just watched it. It made me cry too.....I'm still crying.
I can definitely see him running for President
Gerardo Tejeda YES!
Getting involved in that world would just poison his soul.
One far better than TRUMP!...I WONDER WHERE HE IS NOW?
HIS PARENTS'GREAT GIFT TO THE WORLD.
Oh my gosh - I agree!!! He’d be perfect!
He's too kind for that disgustimg world of politics.
The story of the Reeves family always breaks my heart. The world was better when they were in it. We lost the real world Superman and Lois Lane. And like the comic, they raised one heck of good son.
I knew your Dad Will. You’re an amazing wonderful person. You will see Mom and Dad again. No rush ok. Be well.
Wow! I haven't seen him since he was 13! He is a very handsome young man.
My brother became a quadriplegic at age 20 due to a gymnastics accident. I know what a horrific thing it is for the victim and the family. It takes great courage and grace to deal with it. My brother was my hero and so was Chris Reeve. Both so strong. Seems like Will is strong too. So happy he had good people to care for him. My best wishes to you Will!
C mac - praying for your brother and your family
Why was what happened
When your're on quarantined and everything seems so down, then suddenly this comes up on your feed.

He's remarkable. All this kid went through and yet he turned out to be a wonderful young man. They ARE proud of you Will.
What a strong young man. Losing both parents over a short period of time is enough to drive anyone crazy.
My god how sad and confused his mother must’ve been! For her to make the decision to give Will to the neighbors, they actually raised him and did a wonderful job! May God bless them all!!
They must have been some special Neighbors
So inspiring and heart warming. His parents would be so proud of him. I had tears in my eyes watching this.
I think his parents raised him with lots of love. I also think they prepared him for the worst also.
Another real superman Will Reeve. Inspiring to all who feels depress at the lowest point. At the lowest point the only way is up !
This reminds me of the quote from the first superman film,the father becomes the son,the son becomes the father. Will is a mini version of his dad,his parents did an amazing job raising a talented lad who embodies his parentts same talents
I am a mother of 20 year old boy girl twins and a 23 year old son. This really teared me up. Christoper and Dana did a great job with this young man. Thank you for sharing the love.
So handsome. His Mom and Dad are smiling on him.
Im crying,this makes me so sad but im happy at the same time that he's doing fine.
Strong man.
I lost track of their son and always worried about him.Now I watch this and I see he is just fine.What a wonderful tribute to his late parents.Will ,You are awesome !!
My eyes are stinging. He’s a strong man and had to be a strong boy. This was special.
He was raised well by his parent and adoptive parents. So lucky to have neighbors like them who became his guardians
I'm speechless...and teary-eyed. I'm so glad his Mom had someone she trusted enough to raise him and it seems like she made the perfect choice because he has turned out to be a wonderful person just like his Mom and Dad.
Oh Will, you are the essence of both your mom and dad. Grace in the face of tragedy without breaking. Yes, you do have your mom's Beautiful eyes and your dad grin. You embody both equally and how lucky you are to have that. I've watched you grow and when you were a boy of 13, I thought yes, he looks like mom and dad. Your character is exactly what I would expect from Superman's son. Bless you. You deserve everything.
Very positive attitude, great guy
I think I speak on behalf of everyone in this nation that you have made all of us proud. What a beautiful human being you have turned out to be. God bless you and protect you many years to come.
Omg he's the image of his dad. A very happy ending ❤
What a beautiful son from a beautiful family. I am reminded of what a great actor Christopher every time I watch one of his movies. Who knew that once upon a time there truly was a SUPERMAN!
What a brilliant young man, really made me tear up 😢
Dear Superman,
Your son is a Man now!
The handsome man looks like more his mom with some dad on him god bless them all lovely parents love always for them.
This so beautiful! They did an amazing job and his adopted parents.
I really enjoyed listening to Will Reeve speak about his folks. His father was my favorite actor who played Superman since my childhood ?
Will Reeve you are a remarkable and extraordinary young man. With Dana & Christopher Reeve as parents, one would expect no less. And to their credit and your resilient self, you do not disappoint! Have a happy life you more than deserve it! 💖
Very beautiful tribute to his parents as well as to his ability to rise from the depths (fortunately, with the help of others who cared for him as much as his parents did). Having a good support system matters a lot.
At 4 minutes “How lucky are you?!” God bless you, Will. Congrats on working at ESPN. You are one of the loveliest writers and I hope you will write more!
What a sweet and kind young man. Glad I watched this.
That was deep. What a great young man he has turned out to be your mom and pop must be so proud.. God bless . This sums it up@4:53
Aw I cried this is so sad 😭 listening to him, he is so mature for his age , he is a great young man❤️
God love him. So Brave and so strong. Mom and Dad are so proud.
This letter is very empowering.... A letter to yourself. God Bleas you Will.
That was amazing ... he's grown up and his parents I'm sure are very proud
Moved to tears! Beautifully written Will Reeve!
What a great kid.
Loved Christopher, and Dana seemed so lovely. Beautiful job Will. You have the strength of character to still find joy as they did in adversity. Praying for you. ❤️
@Tre McCho
You copied and pasted "My" Own words from the video clip of "Somewhere In Time". You couldn't write your own Comment, You took Mine! Wow! Some people have a lot of nerve and little brain's. You are this desperate to have others "like" that you must "steal My Word's" to get attention? Your a sick individual.
Will Reeves is an amazing young man. Eventhough he had famous parents, He had so much to deal with as a child and to lose both parents at just age 13, and he has turned out great to be very handsome, and intelligent, and well-spoken, and charismatic.
This is truly heartbreaking God bless this young man
Mya Hollandia
Heartbreaking but at the same time so Heartwarming and uplifting. It gives great Hope for Humanity.
Will, there is a lower point in life than losing your parents, and that is losing your child. My 86 year old grandmother cried at my 58 year old fathers' funeral as if he were a lifeless infant! I dread that experience and commiserate with parents who suffer that absolute helplessness!
Did you lose both parents at that young of an age and within two years apart? Probably not, so you really have no idea. Only someone like himself, can speak from his personal perspective
What a fine young man. Every parent can only hope their children turn out as well. I sure his family is very proud.
You look & sound just like your handsome Father, Will. What a blessing! You are a truly beautiful & blessed man.
This is beautiful..such a strong young man!
It’s amazing how much he resembles on Christopher Reeves. My all time great hero Superman.
Awww him not wearing pants brought me here... now I’m inspired and feel a little silly at the same time!! Ah life!!
Oh! And did i cry. He was raised well. Love to you Will Reeve!❤
Oh my, I just lost my mom on Mothers day 2022, n my dad gone years ago, this was so uplifting!!! I miss my parents sooo much, Thank-you!!!
Wow. I didn’t expect them to raise a lesser man. I would say he has big shoes to fill, but he is clearly making a new pair of shoes on his own. Good luck, Will! ❤️
Wow, poking around youtube and found this. WOWOWOW. I am so choked up and in awe of this man! Honestly, I am just speechless. Oh to be that poised, they did absolutely everything right as parents!! I so enjoy seeing Will on Good Morning American, his energy is pure light!
I remember when his mom died, I was a kid but I immediately thought of him
An truly inspirational family and so much in the public eye.
I thank William for caring on his parents legacy so beautifully. It helps to keep the memories of them alive for us as well. They were really loved and admired by so many.
Will you seem like an amazing young man! Good luck and God Bless.
I cried the whole time whatching this....so touching. Well written. He is another superman.
Well, you are a brave and strong young man !!!! Your parents are very proud of you !!!!! Keep up the good work and be wise enough to know when to take a break from time to time !!!!!!
Dear Will, I have always loved your Dad and now I love you. Sending hugs. ❤
Oh, my neighbor must be chopping onions.
What an awesome young man
Your parents would be so proud of you! They live on through you, Will. God bless.
I see a look of superman in Will, that's amazing. That beautiful superhero 😃 smile. What a lovely chap.
Very inspirational, awesome guy
Wonderful to see this. He is a strong and positive person.
How beautiful to watch Will reading a note to himself at the age of 13. What a nice job his parents did, rarely seen this days.
You are a beautiful person who has such a soul! We are all with you.
This gave me misty eyes!! Well done Will!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a brave young man! Respect. What a role model. He’s full of strength and love. That’s all you need to keep going 🤍
What amazingly brave & strong souls - Christopher, Dana and Will! I’m sure that wherever they are now, they are extremely proud of you, Will. 😌
I am crying, this is so beautiful.
He us the best of both parents
Beautiful, heartfelt and bittersweet, all at the same time.
This speech amazing reached my heart ❤️.
Que lindo ser humano, digno hijo de Christopher y Dana Reeves. Estoy segura que desde el cielo sus padres seguro que lo cuidan y protegen.
I feel your pain WilI lost both of my parents when I was 2 😥😓☝️🙏🤲❤
Denise Harper praying for u
@@teresadoss6844 thank you darling means a lot in my heart..❤
He is a lovely man. A hunk to. Who ever gets him is a lucky person.
This man was blessed by the most amazing super heroes as his parents; God bless what they left behind to this world. Christopher Reeve opened the door for research for spinal cord injuries and may his fight and dream come true. Thank you Christopher Reeves real life Superman
Awesome note to self. Keep on what you are doing Will. You are special and already doing great things. 👍
Beautiful. He turned out to be a wonderful young man and handsome

Your mom and dad are so PROUD of you Will
I am so sorry for your loss but happy for your new family that gave you the foundation for the future which your parents provided!!
Will thank you for your encouraging words. . They have helped me through an emotional sadness. .
Of course, nothing compared to your
sadness + life. .
What a heritage your mom + dad left you.
They would absolutely be great to have known. . .
You are living your best life ✨ now + what an encouragement to us all
Blessings in all your endeavors ❤
I think we can all learn from this, to prepare are kids for when we are gone. And to always use loving inspirational words to them.
We become their inner voice.
Let's make it always positive.
So very, very true. Right values, and courage, to get through hard times, and to stand for truth, beauty, and goodness.
🙏 💜 🌿

Beautiful and so touching...
