We read stories written by people who have lost their parents, some stories more poignant than others. Nikki, when you got to "A week later, on a cold spring morning, I said good-bye to my Marvel buddy, letting him go on his own adventure without me," tears welled up in my eyes. (And I suppose I can relate in another way, being a long-time comics fan. Growing up, I especially liked the Hulk and Dr. Strange!) Thanks for sharing.
