That story really hit home with me. Back in 2012, my son, Ben, who had Down Syndrome, died suddenly. He was very active at church and actually sang in the church choir. Two weeks after his death, at the church's big halloween/fall festival event, all the college and career kids from his class showed up in Vandy football jerseys with Cutler's (Ben's favorite) number and Ben's name on it. Meant more to me than they could ever imagine.
