Celebrate the Life Not The Change

Eleven years yesterday, the world was reminded of just how sinister humans can be and it is with deep compassion that we extend our prayers to those that have lost loved ones as a result of 9/11. For our family and friends, today marks 6 months in which our wonderful Angel Warrior Andrew Aidan was promoted to Heaven to help in making the world a better place. While on this planet,he did everything he could to bring love and happiness to many many people while bringing unity and understanding to the lives of many. Although we will always be saddened by him not being in this realm with us, we are totally satisfied in knowing that the universe permits him to communicate with us in so many different ways. Although we are not permitted to see him yet, he sure does make his presence known and that sure has helped us. I would like to share a way in which we celebrated his life during his first year with us. We were soo happy to have him around that I told Michelle in January 2010, a month after his birth. "Let's celebrate his first month of life. Lets get a cake and light a candle and take pictures and just celebrate the happiness he brings us". Little did I know that we went on to do this every month for his first year. It was great, we have so many pictures , memories and really did enjoy the moments as well. I remember one time when he took a small cup of ice cream from Baskin-Robbins and just devoured it. It was so awesome to see his face full of ice cream and to see him enjoying every drop of it. Plus we have pictures! I urge you to find a way, something unique that will celebrate the lives of those that you love dearly. Its okay to get someone flowers, or take them out for lunch or just write a simple "I love you" note. Remember, as we get older we will lose more loved ones but we will never lose their love, happiness or the wonderful memories that they made in our lives. Have a splendid and wonderful day. Life is beautiful no matter what happens.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

We hope that everyone is as well as can be. We also hope that you had a safe Labor Day Weekend. Labor Day is one day out of the year that celebrates the spirit of the American worker, no matter what your social class is. Along with Labor Day comes the Annual Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September. You all know the battle that we went through last year and this year with AA and you all know the result and how we still are dealing with not having him physically with us. Unfortunately, we are not the only ones. The way we have encountered childhood cancer since last year is alarming. So many wonderful children and families struck by an un-necessary evil. Many of you did your best to help us out and you surely did and for that we are appreciative. We ask that you try you best to help other children out as well if you can. You could donate to an organization or family with Childhood Cancer, go to your local cancer center like Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC and volunteer. You can donate toys, stickers, ski caps (these are very helpful since many kids get cold), socks, books, DVD movies, etc to local children's cancer centers. You could participate in a Childhood Cancer walk in your city or town. There are many things to do like donating blood as well. So many cancer patients deal with blood transfusions that we need healthy people to donate healthy supplies into the system. Hopefully none of you will have to go through what we went through with a loved one and hopefully we can all help other beautiful children that go through this harsh experience in managing it better. God Bless you all
