For you Aiden

On September 16th 2024, we sat in a room full of doctors. Right then we got the worst news no parent should ever hear, our fight against our son's cancer was over.

Today September 17th marks the 1 anniversary we lost our son Aiden to pancreatic cancer. As the mins, days, weeks, months went by , there was not a second that we miss our brave courageous child. He never once had a frown on his face but always smiled and thought of his friends before he thought of himself. This pokemon, roblox , video game child took the fight against cancer with a 6 month diagnosis and fought hard for 2 years and was even able to play ball hockey during his fight.

On this day at 6:42 as the sunset, we lost our baby boy. A fitting end for a hero. As Dylan Thomas the poet wrote, " Do go gentle into that good night".

Not a moment goes by that won't dont miss you Aiden Richard. The miracle child with an impossible task.

We love you forever.
