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

Eternal

Mama, AA & Dada. The Team That Fought To The End!
The wind blows me closer to you
The sun warms whispers of your voice in my ear.
Every blink floods my cortex of over flow of memories 
That inundate my heart with thoughts of you.

The sweet evening blanket of the moon
caresses our hearts as we hear the dulce timbre of your voice
forever etched in our heart and souls as we hear the meoldic
sound of Mama, Papa in every wonderful song 
of the trees against the starlit evening canvas.

The major and minor scales of Heaven 
greeted your entrance with the eternal passion
of Andalucian saints singing the cante
of Praise and Glory 
As a new warrior joins the ranks 
of the Eternal, the Immortal. 
Of the Beloved

Everyday with out Andrew Aidan is a recurring nightmare that does not seem to end.  It is a bad memory that we want to forget but can not. Last night at 3am we were roaming the streets of our neighborhood, full of tears, grief and disbelief, not knowing what to do or how to go on. On every corner, in every park there is a memory. A memory of our baby who we miss truly. Our baby who will now be our Eternal Flame.  Andrew Aidan for us, was and is every thing as many of you already know.
How do you rebuild in the aftermath of a tragedy of epic proportions? Where do you begin? We have no idea of how this happened or how it will turn out. We are happy that, The Warrior has made his way home as he joins his brethren in the ranks of the Holy Army. Those of us that are left in the wake of the Great Destruction of our souls have to come together, join forces, regroup and move ahead. With firm remembrance of the one we call, The Warrior as we venture to rebuild ourselves. With his careful watch we will heal and continue to glorify the name of His Commander as he fills us with the peace of Heaven. It has been so magical to have the amazing support of our family, friends and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center staff but also of the innumerable amount of strangers who are now friends of ours and of AA from around God's green Earth. It has been through this collective of wonderful souls that we have been able to continue onward. All because that is how AA would have wanted it. AA was the consummate fighter who did not complain once while he was in the middle of a brutal war. He always held his head up high, stayed focused and showed a Godly amount of strength that we had no choice but to emulate. People say we have been strong through this, but our strength came from seeing The Warrior. Our strength came from a belief in love, a love so great that it could defeat everything, even death. AA did not lose his battle, he won it. You see the cancer that was in his body has been destroyed through Andrew Aidan's ascension into Heaven. The Warrior won this battle and we are happy and proud of his victory with the Lord leading the way. Let us celebrate his beauty, his life, his amazing ability to unite every one behind one single cause, towards one purpose. Let us be happy for him for now we all have an ally in God's Holy Army.
