Electron Boy (a.k.a., Make a Wish)

[BrianFromWA]

One of the cooler "make a wish" dreams I've seen:

Well done to the Seattle Police, the Sounders, PSE and Councilwoman Bagshaw

Yeah that's pretty cool.

Only an arch villain would save the friggin' FloundersWaaay cool though

Pretty sad that only the soccer team would play along. I can promise you that the Blazers would if they weren't in full swing.

I'll give the M's a pass b/c they're out of town, and the Seahawks rookie camp just ended.

Those Storm players, though...should be ashamed of themselves. What red-blooded 13-y/o boy wouldn't want to save Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson?!?!

Sad, but inspirational, ending to the story.

Amazing story. It really makes you think because that boy was only on this earth 14 years and he was able to impact the lives of so many people.... I've been here 30 years and I haven't done shit.

That speaks poorly of your 16,900+ posts.

But one never knows when one will have be an influence. Maybe a word of encouragement, opening a door for someone (that is noticed), standing up for someone... Often times it's the little things we do that we never think about that might mean something to another. So don't sell yourself short.

great points. Sometimes the little things, especially to people who don't always get treated fairly in life, go a long way to positively imprint you into their lives.

read about this yesterday. Very sad to hear. Transcends any hate I have for Seattle and their teams. RIP

Honestly, about half of my posts were probably something along the lines of "Fuck that! Terrible call from the refs!!!"
