(I know that this is an LSU board. But, Coach Saban did something very nice for my son who is very sick. I just wanted to acknowledge him and what he did.)

Coach Saban found out that my son is sick. Well, today I checked the mail and found a package that was marked "Alabama Football". It was addressed to my son.

My son opened the package and found a Alabama hat that was signed by Coach Saban (he even personalized it for my son) and a really nice picture of Saban on gameday (again personalized and autographed for my son). My son just lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw them. He loves Bama and loves Coach Saban and this just made his whole day. His smile was priceless. (I would love to be able to have my son meet Coach Saban...my son would just love that!).

I wanted to say thank you to Coach Saban for doing this for my son. You made that little boy so very happy.

Thanks guys for the good thoughts, prayers, and kind words. I was very happy Saban did this.

I am going to work on getting my son a football signed by all the SEC head coaches. He would really love that!

Does anyone know how I can get into contact with Coach Miles or someone on his staff?

I am working on getting my son to meet with Coach Saban. But I have no doubt that Miles would be very kind to my son. Miles strikes my as some who would go above and beyond for a child.

But, I still think it was pretty cool of Saban to do this for my son.

Hope your son gets better.

Regardless of who we pull for, family is more important than anything.

I'm glad for your son, he was luckier than this girl:

quote:

My dad talked to a guy once whose son was being recruited by both Miles and Saban. The boy being recruited had a sister with Downs Syndrome. She was excited to meet Saban, but he walked in for a visit and didn't want anything to do with her. When Miles came to visit, the girl ended up sitting right beside him for the whole time, and the boy signed with Miles (at OSU.)
