> When the sky turns dark,
> Does it mean the sun is gone?
> When the clouds are grey,
> Has the Sun's radiant flame come to an end?
> The eternal sunshine of the Sun is ever present over our planet and over our souls. Although, the enormomity of our situation has yet to even begin, we are glad to have the support of many beautiful people in and out of the hospital. Today is our last full day in the hospital during AA's current state of health and during the course of the day we had so many people come see us. Dr. Lightner (we truly love you, see you in Kentucky soon), Dr. Gilheeney (watch out for the Purell), Mary (you are an awesome NP but shhhh don't tell Dr. Lyden), Juliana (hospital dinner is on us next time), Alyson (don't take it personally sweety, AA plays hard to get with all the ladies), Keri (hope you texted Leah that you saw us), Leah (hope that you texted Keri about your secret trick with AA), Carmen (good friends are forever), Jennifer (Friends of Karen are lucky to have you, you are great), Raul (gracias por venir de Puerto Rico a estar con nosotros amigo y hermano del alma), Dr. Forlenza (thanks for looking out for us) and last but not least, all of the awesome nurses who took care of us including Elayne (we love you patient advocate), Julia (your munchkin sends you a besito), Dana (mail merge, mail merge), Larissa (get well soon), Dorothy (Corona time), Jennifer P (go towson), Lisa (smarter than most residents), Courtney (How's Jackson?), Daniel (we gotta get together to see Chuggington again), Jackie (good luck in the night shift) and all the other great and helpful RN's.
> We also wanted to thank the nursing assistants, Jenna (good luck in school), Keisha (Kashmir is lucky), Connie (thanks for the stories), Sherryl (fashionista), Kate (dive in the bag), Katy (thanks for helping me with the bed), Cherry and Michelle. Food services reps Branden (thanks for the wheat crackers,lol), Andrea and Judy. Houskeeping: Sara (please clean the windows, from the outside), Sandra (¡Gracías!), Karen (thanks for the candy), James and Frank & the Candy Crew (thanks for the Sweet Tarts). I now feel like one of those artists that fill half of their CD inserts thanking half of the world. Go figure but these wonderful people took excellent care of us. Thank you all soo much.
> Having all of these wonderful people and more reach out to us today and over the last couple of days has really helped us realize that all three of us touched so many lives. AA (with his mean corner of the eyes look and his besitos, all done and bye-bye gestures), Michelle (with her countless RN/NP stories) and myself (and my super human Super Dada strength, lol just kidding of couse). It has helped the whole process slightly easier in knowing that we have the support of soo many more people that we can't even begin to mention.
> The reality is that our lives will never be the same. It will be entirely different but we will take the happiness and love of our AA as our main source of Strength in our march forward in life. Each day will be a day closer to being with him again. Till we meet again!

Andrew Aidan, Our Fighting Warrior!
Andrew Aidan and his dog Beemer have been the pride and joy of their parents, Michelle & Roi ever since they were born. AA loved to take walks outside, play with his best friend Beemer and his Thomas the Tank Engine set of toys along with any other plane, helicopter, car, truck toy he can get his hand on. For those that have met him, they saw the soul of a mature adult in the body of a sweet, loving boy with a beautiful smile. He bravely battled an aggressive, inoperable, rare form of brain tumor called Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor or AT/RT that spread to his spine as well. This type of cancer effects less than 50 children a year in this country. He has been an inspiration to us and we are sure he will be a vessel of motivation to those in similar situations. Thank you God for protecting our boy!
Thank You!
Andrew Aidan (R.I.P.) , Michelle (Mother), Roi (Dad) & Beemer
