When Cutler was diagnosed on 9/11/09 with AML he was instantly granted a lifetime membership to the esteemed cancer family and we are really beginning to learn the privileges that come with this membership.  Last night we were fortunate enough for Cutler to be selected to be the Honorary Stick Kid at the Dallas Stars game.  This consisted of us going down to the depths of the arena for a mini tour, allow the boys to bust knuckles with the players as they walked by to the ice, stand by the ice and watch both teams during the pregame warm ups, and for Cutler to be presented a game used stick and have it autographed by one of the players (Brendan Dillon).  It was an incredible experience and one that I am still on a bit of a high from.  Mason told us that it was the best night EVER…especially after he was handed a puck from the ice as one of the players (Rouselle) as he was exiting the ice.  This was all made possible by the wonderful people at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society recommending us when the wonderful people at the Dallas Stars reached out to them asking if they had someone in mind.  Cutler’s early life struggles are turning into blessings for him and our entire family.  Words can’t express how grateful we are for being able to have this incredible experience nor can they express how incredible everyone at the Stars and the LLS are to us as a family.  Don’t worry everyone, I am still a Blues fan first, but the Stars are pushing their way into a close second with their hospitality and giving nature.  Below are some of the pictures and a video of the stick presentation recorded from the video board.  Mason was quick to point out to me that they mispronounced our last name which I told him it is best to just get used to it.  🙂
