Making Sick Kids Feel Like Princesses and Heroes

Comic books and fairy tales are a way for kids to escape and for adults to escape and relive their childhood. I was really moved by this story about a mom making tutus and capes to make sick kids feel like Princesses and Superheroes! This isn’t the usual comic book news and views you usually get on this site but I wanted to share this.

Thanks to a great storyteller, Michelle Esteban, KOMO 4 News for sharing this story and for everyone to reached out to help Janay.

You can’t help but notice the Superman blanket! I wonder if he’s a comic fan. Regardless, Kevin is a real hero and inspiration.

My friend Carol is a huge country music fan. She knows I’m a big comic book super hero fan. Sometimes you need a story like this to remind of what’s important in life. So we both wanted to share this inspiring story and wish Kevin a full recovery and great time on his date with Taylor!
