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

Life

March is the birth month of Spring. Spring brings with it the hope of life, growth of many plants and flowers and the joy of escaping Winter's harsh realities. For us, March is particularly hard because it is the month Andrew Aidan went up to Heaven. As we approach his one year of passing on March 12th, the weeks leading up to the date are difficult. I was doing some reading and came across this excerpt by Ernest Hemingway from his book A Farewell to Arms and it struck a cord with me. It reminded me to enjoy my life as it passes. Enjoy every second, minute, hour, day, week and year of your life, because we all will one day meet our creator. It's just a matter of when. If you have a grudge, resolve it. If you dislike someone learn to like them and if you love someone tell them you love them. Sometimes the hardest phrases to say are "I'm sorry, I like you , and I love you". For all the important people in my life: "I'm sorry, I like you , and I love you"

Enjoy the excerpt and have an amazing day!

“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
