Mike,

Hey, thanks for sharing. That's really a poignant story.

When I got to the part where she couldn't see the film, and was being told what was happening, it got quite cloudy in my eyes as well....

People ask me why I love working for Disney. A company that responds like this? What's not to love.

Must be a continent wide dust storm.

That's the saddest thing I've read in a long time.

Pixar acted quickly and displayed a lot of class. Through their willingness to make her wish their top priority, they allowed this little girl to enrich their lives in a profound way.

I wonder if the hospice company is aware of the extent to which they blew it? They could have been the ones to come through with a wheelchair and heroically grant a girl's dying wish. Someone just couldn't be bothered, I guess.

But then if the hospice company had come through, she wouldn't have gotten all those wonderful stuffed animals. I bet she liked the dog the best.

It is a sad news indeed. To think that the young girl is just 10 years old and she's suffering from cancer already.

Nice story.


I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that the hospice just blew her off. Who knows why they weren't able to help?

That is such a touching story. Props to Disney. No dust, but there seems to be a fog in my house right now.

Officially dusty in SoCal as well. Man you never know what these Santa Ana conditions are going to bring...

As if I needed another reason to respect Pixar...

Pixar rules and is a class act!

Sad and touching story. Got "dusty" here as well.
