Mike, I continue to be touched by Andrew's courageous journey. He is a remarkable little guy with a beautiful smile. Your entire family remains in my thoughts and prayers. Even though we have never met I think of your family often, espically when I am spending time with my four month old grandson.

God Bless You,

Patti

Patti,

Thank you for following along on Andrew's journey. It amazes me so much that people we have never met continue to offer encouragement and prayers. Heck, people we don't know send gifts and cards to him, and my family is blown away by the thoughtful acts from total strangers. We have heard from people from through out the United States as well as from some other countries.

I hope to someday meet you and everyone from the IOW board that follows along. However, saying that I also find that many others follow along anonymously while others find it difficult to even talk about it. The response from so many reminds us that there are wonderful folks out there thinking about Andrew and praying for his recovery. Thanks again.

Mike, You are welcome. Please continue to keep us updated on Andrew's progress and keep the faith. From following Andrew's journey I have learned he is a fighter. I mean that in a good sense of the word, he is a strong little guy which grandpa has every right to be proud of.

Maybe our paths will cross some day at a race.

Patti

Children like Andrew are my heroes.
