My dear, sweet Éiden

janradderToday we watched an episode of Challenge of the Superfriends where the Legion of Doom finds a crystal and set about killing each of the Superfriends, one by one. Éiden sat calmly and watched as first Batman and then Wonder Woman were both knocked off, but when Lex Luthor used the crystal to kill Superman, he burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. I picked him up and held him and tried to make him feel better by reminding him that the Superfriends always beat the Legion of Doom but it didn't help. His poor, big heart was broken. He felt better at the end, though, when the Superfriends did, in fact, defeat the Legion. Seeing Superman return, a huge grin spread across his face -- his hero had returned.

Good work, Dad.
