UT’s head coach Butch Jones exits the field after a timeout while playing Arkansas during the second quarter of play on Oct. 3, 2015.Justin Guthrie remembers the “big” day exactly.
“Big” as in important, even dire; not “big” as in good.
“It was April 30,” he told me this week like he was recalling a birthday or anniversary.
April 30 was the day Justin and Ashley Guthrie’s son, Davis, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a form of cancer that attacks his white blood cells.
Everyday occurrences can generate big concerns for the Guthrie family. Fevers mean trips to the ER. Calm days are reasons to celebrate.
