It was less than two hours before the Mavericks were about to tip off their home opener against the Brooklyn Nets last Friday, and the tears were streaming down Stacy Miller’s face. She was crying almost uncontrollably.
To Stacy’s left, and sitting in a wheelchair, was her son, Jonathan “Johnny” Miller, who was dealing with life’s trials and tribulations after he was diagnosed with terminal Aveolor Rhabdomyosarcoma less than a year ago. The diagnosis led to Johnny becoming depressed, and he dropped out of school, thus preventing him from being around his friends and peers.
