Man, you almost had me in tears. As a new dad, this was heartbreaking, yet so heartwarming.
I've been that kid in the hospital bed. Not for cancer, but my own chronic illness, so this touched my soul. The end, with the cape anology is so reminiscent of how I imagined the weight my parents dealt with. This is important, so much so that I hope to see more like it.
Never have I been so glad to have clicked on a short story. Thank you for gracing us with this Andrei.
Wow, that’s a very beautiful, albeit sad comment. I’m glad the story spoke to you. Being a dad sure is hard (I’m not a dad myself, just speaking from observation, haha), and it seems being a superhero doesn’t make it any easier. Thanks for reading, Jeff!
This is just beautiful. I have seen someone in that unbearable pain, and a human touch made every difference. The twist in your story is heartwarming -- what every young child wants and only few can provide in that quiet double dose. Thank you for sharing this, and to Mikey as well.
Thanks a lot for featuring my story, Mikey! It’s one of my favourite pieces I’ve ever written. I do hope your readers enjoy it.
Thanks for submitting it, Andrei!
A powerful way to show a parent's love in a very tough situation. I really enjoyed this story.
Thank you, david! That means a lot.
I appreciate you a lot, Maureen!

Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much, Linda!
Awwwww. This hits hard because my nephew just had surgery and is in hospital and someone dressed as Spiderman came to see him.
Wow, lol. That’s an amazing coincidence. Hope he’s well/gets well soon!
Beautiful and powerful.
Thank you kindly, friend.

Andrei, that was wonderful, I don't want to spoil the feelings with too many words.

Beautiful reveal at the end, very touching.
Thanks for reading, and for the very kind words!
Ooh. This is a sweet story.
Appreciate it! I’m glad you liked it, June!
I loved this. What a cool way to feature a superhero figure, and the twist at the end was beautiful.
Thanks so much for reading, Renee!
