We always wondered if AA was an "Old Soul" born
into a boy's body in order to fullfill his destiny. He showed so much grace,
knowledge, composure and love that it sure felt like we knew him forever. Well
luckily we now do. A nice example of this is the "right of passage"
that many fathers get to experience with their sons when they teach them to
drive. We were lucky enough to experience that with AA for his second birthday.
AA & I picked Michelle up from work that day and went to run some errands
afterwards and I decided that I would bring him upfront with me to expereince
life. To try something that he had never done before and something that seemed
so natural to him. That was to drive a car! There were so many days in which he
would imitate driving with me from his car seat and sometimes we would even be
doing the car sounds together..VROOM! BEEP, BEEP! Truly blessed moments that will always be
cherished not to mention how great and funny it was for us to see AA do
this. Many days were filled with smiles
due to his amazing ability to make people smile and laugh. We are proud of him
as AA's life was filled with so many experiences that showed his growth from a
boy to a man in an amazing way. To our old soul, we truly love you and are
proud of you. Hope to have you visit for Father's Day!
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
