Rest in peace darling girl.

Great story.

Very sweet story. Makes me think even better of Pixar.

I had blogged on it earlier, here.

That was a nice thing for them to do.

I hope they didn’t make her watch 20 minutes of commercials and coming attractions before the movie started.

God Bless that Pixar employee! I wish Colby had actually been able to see the movie instead of having it described to her.

Thx for posting.

“Up” is the animated tale of a grumpy old man who, after his wife’s death, tries to fulfill their joint dream of visiting South America by tying thousands of balloons to his house and floating away.

My daughter turns 14 next month.

Rest In Peace little Angel...

[freekitty]

There are just no words for the act of bravery of this little girl and the act of kindness shown to help her achieve her wish.

God bless that Pixar employee, and may the little girl rest in peace.

God please bless this child. Tears in my eyes.... Also, kudos to Pixar and the person that brought the movie for her to see. That had to be a difficult assignment.

Of all the difficult things a person must face in this life, the death of ones child MUST be the most difficult.

Prayers up for this little angel and for her family.

At about 12:30 p.m. the Pixar employee came to the Curtins’ home with the DVD.
He had a bag of stuffed animals of characters in the movie and a movie poster. He shared some quirky background details of the movie and the group settled in to watch Up.
Colby couldn't see the screen because the pain kept her eyes closed so her mother gave her a play-by-play of the film.
At the end of the film, the mother asked if her daughter enjoyed the movie and Colby nodded yes, Lisa Curtin said.

The employee left after the movie, taking the DVD with him, Lynch said.
“He couldn’t have been nicer,” said Lynch who watched the movie with the family. “His eyes were just welled up.”
After the movie, Colby’s dad, Michael Curtin, who is divorced from Lisa Curtin, came to visit.
Colby died with her mom and dad nearby at 9:20 p.m.
Among the Up memorabilia the employee gave Colby was an “adventure book” – a scrap book the main character’s wife used to chronicle her journeys.
“I’ll have to fill those adventures in for her,” Lisa Curtin said.

May she be in God’s arms now.

Great. I’m taking my 6 year old girl to see it this weekend, now I’m gonna cry through the whole damn thing.

Seriously— Touching story.

Well done, Pixar. Also, thanks for not crowing about how virtuous you are for doing this.
