I've been wanting to see "Up" since reading the plot of the story and have heard great things about it from those who have seen the movie. I just read this article about a little girl whose dying wish was to see the latest Disney/Pixar film but became too sick to actually go to a theater once "Up" released. A close friend of the family decided that she was going to make this little girl's dream come true, if she could only make the right connections. She did! A representative for Disney/Pixar visited the girl's home where the movie was screened for her to enjoy, fulfilling her last wish. Shortly after the screening of "Up" the child passed away. She only wanted to live long enough to see the movie, other than that she was "ready" to go..."Up", her mother shared.
This touched me in so many different ways, there are so many discussions that could come from this story...the timing of it all, the idea that people can live for certain moments, a corporation actually responding to a random telephone call from a lady with a personal issue (sure, there is some publicity to gain here, but they already support Make A Wish)... I could go on. It is a very inspiring story; it reminds me to take chances - on your(my)self, do/say what you really feel/want (truly desire), have passion, live everyday to the fullest and... answer the phone, you don't know who is calling or why.
