"This was the kid who used to toddle over to my bed at 6 oâ€™ clock in the morning every weekend morning to pull on my blankets so Iâ€™d get up and watch cartoons with him. This was the kid who once made me play Hungry Hungry Hippos for an hour straight, until I thought my hands were going to fall off from slamming down those dumb little levers to make the hipposâ€™ heads move. This was the kid who had spent an entire days at a time begging me to play Chutes and Ladders with him. And now he was feeling too sick to play with me."
