This Sunday the Saints played the Atlanta Falcons and they won! This game was very different than any other...
I met a very special boy named Micah. He is 11 years old.
I saw the cutest little boy walking into the suite box next to mine and he had a "Bush" jersey on. I told him I liked his jersey and when he turned around I noticed he had a breathing mask on. He was very quiet and seemed exhausted.
I went to the restroom and his mother Val followed me in and asked me if I would take a picture with her son. She explained he had two weeks to live and was dying of cancer. When she left I literally cried in the bathroom and got myself together and went to go take a picture with him. His mother told me that Micah had a 109 temperature that morning but he still wanted to go see Reggie play!
My heart truly was breaking just seeing how sweet this little boy was... I had to do more.
Hornets basketball player and one of Reggie's best friends Chris Paul was sitting next door in our box so I took Micah over to meet him. He was so excited. Then after the game I took Micah and his whole family with me down to the family section where only the family waits near the locker room for the players to come out to meet Reggie!
Reggie spent some time with him and Micah lit up! I know him meeting Reggie won't ever change what he and his family is going through, but for those brief moments hopefully he could forget he was sick.
I know Reggie and I will never forget Micah.

Wow, that is so sad. That was a really great thing you did. Even though what he and his family is going through won't change, I'm sure it helped bring a little light into their lives when you did that for them.

Great story. It is always nice to see and hear that as human beings living in this world that we live in nowadays, we can still find the time to show care and compassion to those who are not as fortunate.

please do all that you can to check back on the family and see how they are doing. also, if you hear any more information blogging would be very nice. I am so sorry to read this. It is terrible and I now feel stupid for being so shallow and looking for my own christmas gifts. Don't leave me hanging, please check up with the family and see what is happening if possible. It just goes to show that every day is a blessing and could be your last. Thank you for sharing.
