Kids at a Houston shelter received a very special visit from Marvel Comics hero, Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spiderman.

As any parent knows, seeing children dealing with difficult circumstances tugs on heartstrings. As the mom of a nine-year-old girl, thinking about my daughter at the various ages of the children being caught on camera in the Houston-area this week, I can only imagine how being a parent feels during such a disaster.

Thankfully, there are individuals who realize how something as simple as dressing up as a character kids love and visiting them during the very worst of times brings a relief and joy to not only the children, but I’d argue possibly more so to the parents and guardians.
