Here's a really touching story that made my eyes welled up.
In Huntington Beach, California, cancer-stricken Colby Curtin desperately wanted to see the new Disney-Pixar animated film, "Up." But the 10-year-old girl was too sick to go to a movie theatre.
Colby was diagnosed with vascular cancer in 2005, and saw previews for the film in April. Her health began to deteriorate since then and by June 9, she was too sick to go anywhere.

Colby was diagnosed with vascular cancer in 2005, and saw previews for the film in April. Her health began to deteriorate since then and by June 9, she was too sick to go anywhere.
On June 11, a family friend contacted Pixar, and the studio officials agreed to send someone to Colby's house the next day with a DVD copy of "Up" for a private screening.
Colby's mother, Lisa, said she asked her daughter if she could hang on until the movie arrived. "I'm ready (to die), but I'm going to wait for the movie," she said her daughter replied.
Colby was unable to open her eyes to watch the movie, so her mother had to describe the scenes to her. When her mother asked if she enjoyed it, the girl nodded.
Colby died later that night.
