Have a Heart? Give a Heart: Take Nothing For Granted
Written by Sev1512 
We all seem to forget that the holidays are about GIVING and being with the ones you love…
Well, I am here to tell you a true holiday story. A story that embodies exactly what the holidays are really about.
This holiday season, Sergio Lenza will give a gift to his friend’s family that they will never forget. People always say the best gifts are gift that are made yourself from the heart. This particular gift was made using LittleBigPlanet’s CREATE mode. PSN user Sergio Lenza Jr. (PSN ID: VinnyCafoneJr) decided he was going to create a level dedicated to the memory of his good friend, Bobby Kilner Jr. who passed away July 24th, 2006.
The level itself is a Christmas gift for Bobby’s sister. Sergio will be debuting the level for Bobby’s family on December 27th. This gift was created so that “Bobby’s spirit could live on in any means that are made possible.”
So please, I ask you…
Check out the level in LittleBigPlanet once it’s published on December 27th. Please have a heart, and give a heart to the author and to the level itself. Both of which are very much deserving of your time.
Level name: Bobby’s World – Take Nothing For Granted
Level author/PSN ID: VinnyCafoneJr.
Thank you from PlayStation LifeStyle, Sergio, and the Kilner Family…

Sev, I just want to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to put this on your website. Sir, you and your colleagues are the epitome of class and grace.
When Little Big Planet was debuted at GDC 2007, the first thought that came to mind was to create a level in honor of my friend. Now, thanks to Sony and Media Molecule, I am finally able to do so.
To all my fellow gamers out there, if you could please play, and heart this level, I will be forever grateful.
And remember, just like the title says. “Take Nothing for Granted.”
Little things in this world, and in your life, that may seem irrelevant and/or insignificant, could turn out to be so much more.
Tell your loved ones how you feel about them. Especially during this Holiday Season. You never, ever know what could happen.
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday everyone, and thank you again to everyone who lent their support to this project.
Sincerely,
Sergio Lenza Jr.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. What a great idea for a truly special Christmas gift. Sometimes people forget that it’s not about the money you spend, or how many gifts you get someone, but the thought is what counts the most. I also will be looking forward to playing your level and I hope you and all of your friends and family have a Merry Christmas.

I searched for your level and went through about four pages of levels trying to find it and I don’t see it
They really need to fix the search engine. I’ll keep looking though.

That’s weird.
Try looking for it under my PSN ID VinnyCafoneJr.
Its called Bobby’s World-Take Nothing for Granted.
If anyone else is having this problem, please let me know

Very nice story Sergio!
This is the true meaning of Christmas as well as being with the ones you love having a good time together during the Holiday Seasons.
I will definitely try to remember to play your level when I get Little Big Planet on my birthday on February 13.
Awesome job Sergio. You the best!
