Letter From Andrew to All

Dearest Family and Friends,

The day I was born my guardian angel told me I was a gift of love from God to all of you and to the world. I want you to know that I have felt your love for me from the moment of my conception and I will always cherish the love we share forever, with God. Although I know you feel I left this world too soon, God knows I was alive just the perfect length of time. So many miracles have occurred since I was born. So much love was brought into the lives of so many people all over the world because of my life. God decided in the beginning of time His will for me and through all your efforts my purpose on this earth has been fulfilled.

Mommy, please continue to turn to Our Lady of Angels the Most Pure Virgin Mary. Mother Mary held me and comforted me all the days and nights you physically could not. Mary held me close and soothed me every time I was poked by a needle and through every surgery. She kissed my boo boos for you Mom, every single time. With every single tear that streams down your cheeks, just know I am forever grateful to you for all you have done for me. I will always love you, thank you for always sending me angels in my dreams during my lifetime.

Daddy, please always give Joey a piggyback ride when he asks – one day my big brother oey will be too heavy for you to lift. Dad, I need you to always believe that God is with you and that He loves you. I know that to be true because God is holding you right now as he is holding me, in fact he is giving me a piggyback ride. God will always help you carry your burdens but you have to let Him. It is so hard when there is no equation or mathematical law to explain with 100 % certainty why things happen. But there is a solution, God’s solution. It is quite simple, “Come.” Christ is the one-stop place for burdens. He and He alone is able to deal with your affliction, but you have to let Him.

Joey, I will continue to see you in your dreams. We will play with our toy cars and our superheroes and I will always help you “throw all the monsters out the window,” (that’s a little game Joey and I play). I will always be your baby brother and I need you to do something for me, please ways hug Mommy and Daddy extra hard so they feel me hugging them too… and always kiss them twice, once for me.

Thank you for all the prayer cards and letters, thank you so much. Mommy read me all your letters and it helped us both during my time in the hospital. You have held up my family in prayer and helped their faith sustain them.

I know it seems so unfair that my time with you was so short – but always keep in mind that two months or 100 years is a blink of an eye compared to eternity. I may have never made it home to my crib, but I am truly home now here in God’s Heavenly Kingdom. I am where I belong and I am at peace.
Love Always,
Andrew William
