Andrew Aidan's Story: June 2013

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

Hello Sophia

Today we have been blessed with the birth of Sophia Andrea. Our little princess was born free of complications weighing 6.8 lbs. Both mother and daughter are doing just fine. We thank God and our Angel AA for granting us the gift of having a Giver of Life in our family.

From Brother To Sister

We wanted to share with you this wonderful and touching poem written by our friend Nancy from Andrew Aidan to his sister Sophia Andrea. Enjoy.

Michelle & Roi

To my baby sister

I welcome you now.

I am your guardian angel.

Our mother and father have waited for you . . .

They are wonderful.

You and I chose well.

My time in their arms was very special.

Now I live in their hearts.

I am still here – just . . . differently.

It would have been fun to play with you

The way siblings play.

But our journey is very unique.

Our family is very special.

I will see you through their eyes.

You will hug me through their arms.

We will all be together – always.

I still love them with all of my heart.

I love you all now.

You know this and you know me.

I will never leave you. I will never leave them.

We are a very special family.

I am writing this for them . . . because

You already know what I’m capturing in words.

You know it deep in your soul.

You are a beautiful, gentle spirit, as am I.

You are my sister and I am your brother.

We are a family filled with blessings.

Love is intangible and immeasurable.

Science and technology have not yet caught up;

Thus, my being with you cannot be empirically quantified.

Our relationship will be based on faith and intuitive knowing.

And this, my dear sister, is very real.

We have an extraordinary journey ahead.

Welcome to the world.

I am eager to help guide you gently,

When you privately welcome me to do so.

I am, and will forever be, your loving brother.

~AA

The Door

Our dear friend Nataki posted this for us on our Facebook account. As the days grow closer to the arrival of Andrew Aidan's sister we have been thinking of him with happiness, fondness, sadness and pride. We are so happy to be expecting our new bundle of joy soon but still have the hole in our hearts which will stay for all perpetuity. We hope that this helps as it did for us for the hole in your heart if you are missing a dear one that has walked through the door of life.

Roi and Michelle
