I wont go into all the details, but it was touching to say the least. Upon hearing what they did for these two boys, it's pretty hard for me not to pull for them to get into the playoffs.

Great story, I really like to hear how teams and athletes can do something special for others like that. Really sorry to hear of the boys' loss, at that age. I had my dad for 48 years, and just laid him to rest on Sunday, and that was plenty difficult enough to do. My sympathies to the boys and your family.
