Remembering Christopher Reeve
The Oprah Winfrey Show  |  February 16, 2005
Dana and Will Reeve


Before slipping into a coma due to complications from infections, Christopher "had gone to Will's hockey game, and he was so happy about that," Dana says. "He loved going to Will's hockey games. He had a great day."

Dana says even though she wasn't there when Christopher slipped into a coma, she doesn't feel as though she missed her chance to say goodbye. "I had nine-and-a-half years! … And I feel [that] that is 'living the final conversation.' He could have easily died in the field when he had his accident, and Will would never have remembered him—would never have had that dad. And I feel like how lucky [to have him]."
