Love, Kennedy Page #2

This song's about us.

When it was time to leave,

Kennedy wrote a note for

Charlee to take with her.

Charlee, you are so special

and I feel your heart!

We will be best friends...

On earth and in heaven.

Love, Kennedy

see ya! Bye! Thanks again!

Bye Charlee!

What an incredible family

oh, I love them.

Bye.

Hey Deedee.

Dad and I got you something.

A stick?

No, it's not a stick.

A golf club?

I think she's messing with us.

I knew it!

I knew it.

Ahh, you are such a punk!

You're so silly.

Though

Kennedy's health was declining,

she was still so excited

about her next step in life.

High school!

High school!

M-m-meee, cheerlead...

The games!

Beau!

Did you make it?

Uh, yeah.

Go wolves!

Go wolves!

Boom wacka wacka,

boom boom wacka wacka,

boom boom wacka wacka.

Even though Kennedy was so

excited about school and dances,

she wouldn't go to

a dance of any kind.

Anna would invite her,

but she wouldn't go.

But every time, on the

night of these dances

Kennedy would wait

patiently for Anna...

Right by the door.

Let's go to bed!

Why won't you go to bed?

Just waiting?

Uh, huh.

She won't be long.

Let's get you to bed.

Bye you guys,

thanks for the ride!

Bye Anna!

See you later Anna!

Boys! Tell about the boys!

Come on!

Well first I danced with Eldon

I know, and Ryan

kept looking at us.

Oh, is he hot?

Totally, totally hot.

Hey!

No talking about boys...

Without me!

Move over, move over.

Mom, you'll never

guess what happened.

I danced with Eldon.

- Hot, hot!

- He's hot.

Hot Eldon.

He's hot, hot Eldon.

Sick

what?

Who cares right!

Boys!

Mommy!

Mommy!

The monsters, monsters!

Shh, shh, baby

mommy's here, it's ok.

Kennedy, shh-shh.

Calm down, calm down.

- Mommy's here.

- We're right here.

We're right here.

Shh, shh.

Shh, shh.

Today I was thinking

about that time in 2nd grade

when she was the only

girl in her class

that wasn't invited

to that birthday party...

Any other girl

would've been so upset,

but not her.

Not Deedee.

And just a month later,

remember?

When it was her birthday,

she made sure we invited that

girl who had left her out.

She's not normal Jase.

She's not a normal kid at all.

Always thinking of others,

putting her needs aside.

It's probably why

it took us so long

to figure out what's

wrong with her.

She just kept plugging along,

going to school...

Saying it was

probably just a bug.

But it wasn't.

It's so much worse.

Hi, Deedee.

Oh, honey.

Is this something

you are hoping to do?

To get your driver's license?

Sweetie, I know you

want to drive so bad,

but there are some things we're

gonna have to rethink now.

I, I'm good.

Yes, you are and...

We will just find other

things you can do.

One day, heavenly father

will f-f-fix my eyes.

I don't know what else to do.

I'll stay with her tonight.

Please...

Give Kennedy the same

opportunities this year

as other kids.

Help her to feel normal.

I'm asking for these

blessings for her.

I'll be back.

Hey dad!

Hey, you're having fun!

Yeah, where's Kennedy?

Um, I'll find her.

Hey Deedee.

Hey come with me and we'll

go into the dance together.

Yeah, that would be fun.

Can't.

Yes, you can.

Deedee, you're a good dancer.

Hey and there's boys out there.

No.

No boy wants to dance with me.

Sure they do.

No.

- Bishop.

- Hi Jason.

Hey, where's Kennedy?

Well, she's in the kitchen...

'Cause she not only has

to deal with her disease,

she can't handle being

rejected by all these boys

and I can't blame her.

I mean they're not even

giving her the time of...

Hi!

Hey Levi!

I love this song.

Hi Cooper!

- How are you?

- Good, how are you?

We have some fine

young men in this stake,

and you have an even

greater young woman.

Hi Deedee.

Will you dance with me?

Yes!

Yes, daddy.

Way to go.

I love you...

And I always will.

I love you too, dad...

But where are the boys?

All right, Cooper.

The next day, it was my

turn to give the lesson.

The spirit told to

me to invite Kennedy

to come and bare her

testimony to the young men.

As she entered,

so did the spirit.

Thanks for doing this.

Okay, they're all right here.

You ready?

Okay.

I believe...

In heavenly father and church.

We have to do what's right

so we will be with him again.

We will see him...

And hug him.

I'm going...

I'm going to miss you all so,

so much.

What you did last night,

you, you...

You tell 'em daddy.

Okay.

She wants me to tell

you all thank you

for dancing with her

but she can't say it...

I told her it didn't matter

anyway because you're all ugly.

Daddy!

Good job, Kennedy!

I'm so proud of you.

After

she left, I bore testimony.

I told them that Kennedy

would soon be going home.

The feeling in that

room was unbelievable...

As I wondered how

next to help her,

a voice came into my head,

"take her to the football

game this weekend."

I had no idea what

that was all about,

but later would learn there

was someone else right then

who was pleading for a

way to heal her girls.

Jill, it's not fair!

Yeah why should Jordyn

and Megan get to and not us?

Because we're seniors!

Oh, well

whoop-de-do on the seniors!

We all tried out for the team.

Stop! All right,

I'll decide.

Go home and take a chill pill.

Chill pill?

Go!

This is ridiculous,

happens every year.

A very pleasant

good evening everyone.

Welcome to Moyle's field!

Number 29 Austin Bolos

the ball carrier.

Takes the ball up the left side.

Go wolves!

Wolves!

Yoooooo!

Wolves!

Go wolves!

Make it stop, dad, make it stop!

Wolves!

F-h-s, f-h-s.

Go! Let's go!

I guess we're going for a walk.

Where're we going Kenners?

Fremont, silver wolves.

Kenn, we can't go here.

What are we doing?

Fremont, silver wolves.

Wolves!

Go wolves!

Go wolves!

Fremont, silver wolves.

Go wolves!

Hi, what's your name?

Kennedy.

Oh, what a great name!

I'm Jordyn.

I can see you like to cheerlead.

Wolves!

Go wolves!

Go Kennedy!

Hey Jordyn!

Ok well, I gotta go but

it's so great to meet you!

Hugs!

Okay, bye bye.

Wolves!

Go wolves!

You too daddy.

More!

Oh, you a sick wolf, daddy.

Thanks, Kenn.

So what do you think, Jill?

We'll help however you want.

I think this might

be just what we need.

Let's do it.

Hello?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

That would be so wonderful.

Really?

Yeah, uh-huh.

We would love it if you

would be the one to tell her.

Thank you so much.

All right, bye.

Jace!

You won't believe it,

you just won't believe it!

Have a good day girls.

- Love you mom.

- I love you mom.

- Hey Kennedy.

- Yeah?

Today is gonna be a great day.

Always is.

But today's gonna be

different 'cause Mrs. schof...

What's wrong with Beau?

Don't you know?

There's always something wrong with Beau.

Lexi, who's that

girl with the cane?

I have no idea.

This is so lame.

Would it be ok with you if we

have a conversation with Kennedy?

Is that okay?

Kennedy, my name

is Jill Schofield.

I'm the cheer coach

here at Fremont.
