Jan 27 10

Three years ago today, Jan. 27, 2007, Andrew and I took a trip up to Northeastern PA for the PA Indoor State Cup (Championship).  After looking pale in the first game, Andrew slept in the car and skipped the next game.  We didn’t know what was wrong — flu, migraine.  Andrew came back to play (a total of 4 games!)…and play well.  He made a great play in the closing seconds of the championship game to help seal the State Championship victory for the FC Delco Roadkill.

We had a GREAT ride home and talked about Ali, Facebook/MySpace, girls, all kinds of things.  It was just perfect.

Little did we know that just 48 hours later, we would learn that Andrew had leukemia and he would go into cardiac arrest.  The doctors said he wouldn’t make it through the night.  They were wrong.  He would give us 166 bonus days.

Please see above for the last picture we have of Andrew before we went into the hospital.  Andrew is in the top row, far left — the sickest child, but the only one smiling.  That’s my boy!

I love you, Andrew!
