Update: Little Maddox meets Big Ben



The meeting took place Friday, April 23, 2010 and was posted here on April 29th. After Maddox's meeting, he wanted to send Ben a photo of the two of them with his autograph (in crayon). Ben said he would do an even exchange - an autographed photo of him for an autographed photo of Maddox, but he sent much more!
Maddox's parents sent me an update this afternoon:


Hey Erin,
We received the pictures today! Maddox was so pumped! Now he thinks Ben is his biggest fan because that is what he wrote to Maddox!
If you can, tell Ben we couldn't say thanks enough to him! He has just made Maddox so happy!
Today we got a package mailed directly from Ben's parents (Ken and Brenda) and it had more autographed items in it than we expected.
So the tally for one simple meeting turned into 2 autographed authentic NFL action photos and 3 autographed cards as well as a personal photo taken with my son. The autographed photos of Ben scoring the first TD of Super Bowl 40 and Ben making "the tackle" against Indy are just awesome.
If people are going to tell every negative story, I'm going to continue to tell the positive ones too. It's only fair.


Once Again...
*Thank you so much to both of Maddox's parents, Colin and Nicole, for sharing their story and the update with us!
