In the end, everything is not as it was meant to be. Everything will not be all right. And that's okay. Lois once asked me what it means to be a hero. And I'm not sure I ever really came up with a good answer for that. But the best one I could come up with-- is that a hero is someone who never thinks about how much they mean to the world-- but realizes just how much the world means to them. If, by some miracle, you are reading this... and this gambit somehow succeeds... say hi to Mom for me. And tell Lois and Jonathan I love them. Sometimes you save the world. Sometimes the world saves you. As Dad once told me, there's a part of ourselves that's out there in the world, waiting to be discovered. And he was right. And that part is what we call love.
