May 13, 2018 - It's Mother's Day!570 viewsPainting Easter eggs is wayyy better when Mommy helps me (and cleans me up afterwards)!
"Mommy, we want to say thank you for being the best mommy in the whole wide world, you are always there for us and there for everything we could ever need – from hugs and kisses to help with homework. We could never say thank you enough. We love you so much." — Benjamin, Bay and Bo.
"I want to say Happy Mother’s Day to my mother, grandmothers, mother-in-law, and all the other mothers in my family…and especially the mother of my children, Ashley. You are an amazing mother, wife and woman. Thanks for being the best mommy to our children. They are so lucky to have you. Love you! â¤
I also want to say Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. I hope and pray you have a great day! I know we only celebrate mothers one day of the year, but we should celebrate you every day of the year. Have a Blessed day!" — Ben.
July 27, 2012 - Jeffrey Metz890 views This is a story about a young man and his courage. Jeffrey Metz was born in San Diego, CA with cerebral palsy. My name is Mickey Metz, Jeffrey's uncle. I'm originally from the north side of Pittsburgh, but have been living in Orlando, FL since 1985. We have family in Mt. Pleasant, PA so I decided to invite Jeffrey to go on a road trip to Steelers training camp with me, my son, and my brother. His parents were reluctant to allow him to fly by himself to Orlando because of his physical disability, but Jeffrey won out and flew from Bakersfield, CA to our home in Orlando to start the road trip to Pennsylvania. He flew 3,000 miles and rode for 1,200 miles.
Friday, July 27, 2012, the first day of camp open for the public was the day that changed Jeffrey's life forever.
We arrived at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA at noon. Upon arriving I sought out several staff members to see if there was any assistance (a wheelchair) for Jeffrey to get to the playing fields and unfortunately they couldn't provide any. We weren't sure how to get Jeffrey down the hillside from the handicap parking lot but Jeffrey knew the only chance he had to meet his favorite player, Ben Roethlisberger, was to climb down all the steps to the playing field. So even with a major fear of steps, he made it to the bottom - one slow step at a time, with crutches, to watch the players on the field.
After practice, Jeffrey climbed down the few remaining steps to the field level in hopes that Ben would notice him wearing his #7 jersey. However, Ben walked the opposite way from us to the other side of the grandstand to sign autographs. Still determined, Jeffrey climbed back up the stairs, walked to the other side and then back down the steps to the side where Ben was. Unfortunately, by this time Ben was already a distance away from where Jeffery was. Other fans noticed Jeffrey and his obvious desire to get Ben's attention, so they started chanting, "Ben, Ben, Ben", but Ben didn't realize what was happening, so he just smiled at the fans and kept moving down the line signing more autographs. Jeffrey was not giving up! He walked along the hillside around another large group of fans to get along the fence in hopes that Ben would still be signing at the end of that row where he now stood.
Ben finally reached Jeffrey and signed his football. He also stopped to take a photo with Jeffrey (above)....
