I've been a very long-time fan of LBT, since my mom had bought the movies on VHS for my brother and I to watch on long car trips.

I've developed this love for LBT4, since it touches a very sensitive spot in my heart.

This morning, May 6th, my mom passed away after a 2-month long battle with brain, bone, lung, and liver cancer. I had some friends over early on in the fight to watch LBT4 with me, and they probably thought I was crazy for watching such a sad film regarding Littlefoot's grandpa. I think it was that movie that gave me hope my mom would somehow pull through. She never did, but I still always thought back to the part where Littlefoot comes back to the Great Valley and gives his grandpa the flowers. Seeing his grandpa open his eyes always touches me to this day. My mom and I loved these movies and watched them together. She always loved Ducky.

My mom was a 3-year breast cancer survivor, getting diagnosed in 2010, and fighting hard to beat it. She was diagnosed with brain cancer, and the additional cancers, this year on March 4th, a day before her birthday. She was only 54.

She went peacefully...

Thank you for letting me share this...

(And, I realize I'm not mentioning the scene from the first movie... honestly, I don't know if I can even watch that movie anymore. That scene may haunt me for the rest of my life.)
