The Best Day Ever!



OU Cheerleaders & Diego

 

Our dear friends, Cliff and Debbie, wanted to do something special for Diego before his upcoming surgery date.  Little did they realize that Diego would proclaim this day as the best day of his life!  Cliff and Debbie are devout OU Sooner fans.  So, they invited Diego to the Sooner Caravan on Wednesday, August 1, 2012 in Oklahoma City. 

Diego was thrilled to meet the following OU coaches:  Bob Stoops, Sherri Coale, and Lon Kruger.  He received an autograph photo from each coach and had Bob Stoops autograph his brand new OU football.  He even had his picture taken with the OU horses, Boomer and Sooner!

In addition, he took pictures with some of the OU cheerleaders and pom squad.  Diego was especially fond of the cheerleader on the right in the above picture, Morgan Pistole.  Diego called me from the event to tell me that he met the cheerleaders.  He said, “Mom, they knew about my surgery!”  Morgan explained to Diego that she recently had to have surgery.  She told him not to worry because he was going to be just fine. 

Diego arrived home late Wednesday evening full of energy and talking non-stop about his fun filled day.  His eyes were glowing as he showed us his autographed photos, football, and even some balloons he brought home.  He slowly started to unwind as he retold the events of the evening.  As Diego was saying his prayers and drifting off to sleep he sighed, “I wonder when I will ever have a day better than this.”  Sweet dreams son and thank you Debbie and Cliff for giving Diego the best day ever!
