2. How heartbreaking....

I am having problems with the sound on my computer, so I can only watch the video. Could someone fill me in on some of the details?

4. Pete's crushing on Emily

Edited on Thu Oct-29-09 03:59 PM by supernova

She had a kidney transplant from her dad, but now she has lymphoma. :-(

He "likes her because she sits by me."

He sells his mom's homemade brownies and produce from their garden everyday, going house to house with his little red wagon to help with Emily's medical bills. His mom says he hopes to sell all the butternut squash because "he doesn't like it." :rofl:

His dad says they call him "Sweety Petey" around the house 'cause he's so sweet and caring.

I think both families are really adorable. :D

9. Hard to say

My aunt lived with about three different bouts of lymphoma over a 15 year period. So, who knows? :shrug:

I sure do hope this little one will go into remission so that she and Pete can resume their friendship.

8. I am truly choked up by this

I wish his wagon came down to these parts so I could buy from Peter and do my little part to help Emily out. What a great kid.
