Tugger

From The OC Register comes a story that made me feel both uplifted and sad at the same time:

The Pixar folks granted a very sick little girl's final wish that meant everything to her.

After being diagnosed with Peripheral Vascular Cancer three years ago, it became apparent that 10-year-old Colby Curtin would not live long enough to see UP in the theater, a movie she had been excited to see since she saw the preview.

When Colby became too ill to be moved to a cinema, a family friend made calls to Pixar. A representative of the company then flew out with a DVD copy of the movie in hand to show to Colby. When asked if she enjoyed the movie, she nodded.



Colby died just seven hours after seeing the movie...
