The CBS Mornings YouTube channel shared a video from its "The Uplift" segment about a young boy who gave a "terrible sandwich" review that went viral, a family traveling to make "visual memories," a young girl who overcame the odds of her diagnosis, a brother meeting his sister's boyfriend for the first time, and many more heartwarming stories.
On the first day of his kindergarten career, Abe Ndege had a very honest opinion for his mom. His mother, Ricki Weisberg, was filming Abe getting off the bus after his first day at school, and the first thing he said to her was, “Mommy, terrible sandwich, by the way,” to which Ricki responded with, “Thanks for telling me.”
In an interview with Abe and Ricki, Abe said, “On the first day of kindergarten I had a good day, made a few friends, nothing else. Recess area, small. Nothing else. Lunch, terrible sandwich. Nothing else.”
One thing that we know for sure, Abe is a very honest person about everything.
One of the next stories that was shared during this segment was about a boy named Nate who has Down syndrome. Nate traveled to Nashville to meet his sister Lindsey’s boyfriend for the first time. When the video starts, you see Nate, who is dressed in a matching pineapple outfit, complete with a bucket hat, sprinting toward his sister’s boyfriend, dropping his bags, and then jumping into his arms. Without hesitation, Lindsey’s boyfriend catches Nate and gives him the biggest hug right back.
The next story shared is about a mom of four who is trying to keep her spirits up and positive even though three of her four children are losing their vision. When her oldest daughter, Mia, was little, mom Edith Lemay started to notice that Mia would bump into things. She brought Mia to a doctor, who diagnosed the little girl with retinitis pigmentosa. This disease is genetic, which prompted Edith to have her other kids checked out as well. Her sons Colin and Laurent were also diagnosed with the disease.
Knowing three of her kids will lose their vision, Edith decided to take her family on a yearlong world tour so her kids could see the world and make visual memories before they lost their eyesight.
