"I’m ready (to die), but I’m going to wait for the movie."

[Eucliffe]

I felt so sad reading that. I loved "Up" so much when I saw it (I almost cried watching it; my mom really did cry), and for that movie to be the girl's last... Wow. And for Pixar to do something as sweet as this... Wow x2.

To be honest, I'm glad she got her final wish. I think it would've been even more tragic if she had died before she was able to see it, or if she died during the middle of it.

Hopefully her soul is at peace, up in the heavens above.

 

[Swift!]

That's wonderful. Not the dying part. Just the fact that she got her last wish.

Much better than all the murder threads that are going around.

 

[Ho-Oh]

omg that's so sad but awesome. Just wow. R.I.P Colby~

 

[.Seth]

That's a very sad, yet very happy story.

A girl of 10 dies, but, she gets her dying wish. ;-)
Just...amazing.

 

[Sublime]

That was an amazing story. I can honestly say that warmed my heart. That employee has a heart of gold, and I can guarantee you his act of kindness won't go unnoticed.

It really is a shame that the poor girl had to die at such a young age, though.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how
infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and
admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like
a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet,
to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me—
nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.
-Hamlet Act 2, scene 2, 303–312


A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine

So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You're free at last.
-Charlie Daniels

R.I.P. Colby. Ten is such a young age to die. A last wish for most is something super spectacular, something that is like going to Disneyland. But, no, her wish is noble. I could not even comprehend death, nor would I would be ready to accept it.

It's f'd up 10 year olds even get cancer. Makes me wonder what we're doing wrong to have these childhood diseases on the rise. But i'm glad she got her wish:))) May she RIP.

 

[gummybarz]

That is a nice story, but at the same time quite sad, Rip: Colby..

 

[Conan Edogawa]

When I first heard this story I didn't believe it. This is one of the greatest stories I have ever heard. It really affected me.

 

[The Darkest Gale]

That really is sad *cries* thats shows how lucky we are

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

Pixar... you're awesome! You granted the Girl's Last Wish!
R.I.P Colby.

 

[Nash Bandicoot]

when i had a high chance of dieing and am that sick there is not much else to do but well what she did, when i was reading that i almost cried
R.I.P. Colby :'(

 

[wolf]

Wow, that was a very warming story. Glad Pixar actually did that for her. Hope she RIP. :)

 

[Starway]

I read about this is the Wii news channel. Really sad but a sweet thing for Pixar to do. Like everyone else said: May she rest in peace and I hope the family it's best.

 

[.little monster]

This is very sad to hear, it touched my heart. I wish the best for the family. At least there is some good in the world.

 

[>Feelings<]

This is just sad...
From her will to watch the movie, you can feel that she is nothing but an innocent child just wanting her favourite thing - movies.
May she rest in peace.

It has been nice of Pixar to do so. And like someone said, it kinda felt good to know that there still is good in this world.
With all the recent thread here, and from what I'm seeing around me these days, it is becoming increasingly obvious that this world is taking a turn that it isn't supposed to, fo the sake of people. A few good event in the middle of all these just... makes me realize that it isn't all there is to this world.

 

[Guillermo]

It's good that she got her dying wish. Losing people is always tragic, but knowing she got what she wanted before she died would have made the experience a whole-lot less painful for her parent and friends.

Good on Pixar for doing that, though.

Hope she rests in peace.

 

[s0nido]

What I find amazing is how Pixar actually agreed to send the girl a DVD of the movie and not make a big fuss about it and brag about it to the media. And it's sad how she died, with her eyes closed throughout the movie because of the pain she was feeling.

 

[Devil Theory]

This has to be one of the nicest, most heart-warming things I've read in a long time.

It's amazing how a big corporation would do that for a dying girl. Truly amazing.

[pkmnhippy]

That's awful, she couldn't even see the movie properly.
It's good to know there's some good left in the world.
