Did anyone else watch? I was bawling at the story of the young girl who was told she wouldn't even have a year to complete her bucket list.

And yeah, I got teary at a few of the personal stories. Especially the little kids.
and on a superficial note my baby Matt Damon looked hot.
Is Rob's accent making a comeback?
It's not the same- AT ALL. But this past year, while I was very pregnant with our first baby, we found out my 26 year old husband had a brain tumor.
he is okay for now, but that whole experience made me realize how short life can be and how much you should appreciate every moment (even though i still complain about stupid shit like work all the time)
It is absolutely terrifying to think of my child having cancer (let alone my husband or myself.)
And congrats on your bb! I'm preggo now with my 3rd. :D
Since then, all cat scans have shown the tumor decreasing. In fact, although it will never go away, they couldn't even SEE it in the last scan- thats amazing! This particular tumor is slow growing and benign.. so as long as it's not getting any better its cool.
I will always always worry. In fact, after he goes to bed at night, my crazy self always google's info on his tumor.
But, if I look at the big picture, 'brain tumor' wasn't nearly as scary/awful as I thought it would be.
i’m so proud/glad that rob did this. it’s such a great cause <3
