Christopher Reeves' portrayal of Superman showed me what a hero truly is.

It's about strength, through kindness.

This is a quality I try to lovingly embrace, as both a father and a person.

Kindness.

Tonight, I stepped into my phone booth. I donned my tights and became Superman. I escorted Supergirl and Wonder Woman from house to house for Halloween.

Our girls shouted, “trick or treat!” when the door opened.

They shouted, “thank you!” as they departed.

Kindness.

In a small way, they learned about being nice.

I was proud of our burgeoning superheroes. I am hopeful they will continue to embrace the lost art of heroism and find not only kindness, but also compassion.
