    Wow, the look on the kids faces when they met Scola was priceless.

    Never thought I would tear up on this site.

    Hope Mr. Saes' recovery goes well.

    Cancer is a b****, my grandpa was one of the unlucky ones. Hope the opposite happens to Mr. Saes.

    As always, good job Rockets and Clutch!

    As a father there's nothing more rewarding than seeing your kids be able to express joy over something so wonderful - that's good elixir.

    Great article. And I like the part where it says Daniel Gibson gave one of his headbands to them, because I got a headband from him too that game. Kind of weird :eek:

    Wow after I watched the video I realized i was sitting almost right next to them. I remember seeing their son getting autographs and pictures before the game. Great to see the kids happy in a tough time.

    I can unashamingly say i had tears streaming down my face from this story, so touching.

    What an amazing organization to be a proud fan of.

    I am only 22 and have lost 2 friends to cancer, and the generosity of people is so warming.

    wonderful stuff and i wish the family the best of luck.

    A beautiful thing to do... the organization, the Rockets and, of course, Luis, who is the definition of a class act. I wish you friend the best. Like too many others, I have a close family member battling cancer and undergoing chemo. It's a tough road, but like others have said, Houston has world class facilities and doctors that use the latest techniques, the latest research to fight it. My family member is winning her battle right now, and your friend can lick it! Good luck and my very best wishes to him and his family, and to the Rockets for doing something they didn't have to do. They are, without a doubt, the finest organiztion in the NBA and we're so lucky to have them grace Houston.

    I also wanted to say that you did a superb job with the video, with all your videos. You have a gift. Don't ever lose it. :cool:

    I am not saying that this is a Cure by any means... however, I also recommend Drinking Lots of Kangen/Alkaline/Ionized/Electroylzed Water. I haven't tried the other machines out there. Yet, my Experiences with Kangen have been Encouraging. A Friend of mine who is a Retired Doctor Strongly Recommended Kangen Water to me and I have Personally Experienced Benefits from Drinking this Water such as having More Energy, Feeling Better, Refreshed, Deeper Sleep, and More Vivid Dreams like when I was kid. What really Amazed and Sold me was the Experience of Another Friend of Ours whose Sister had Extreme Symptoms of Parkinson's that has been Reduced Dramatically. She is Convinced that Happened as a Result of Drinking this Powerful Water :)
