IT’S OVER

Monday night around 10:20pm my dear, sweet,  amazing love of my life, my teacher, my hero my son Andrew passed on. We watched as they kept giving him cpr. We had to be the ones to call it. I watched as all the lines on the monitor went away. I stayed to get as much “fuzzy goodness” as I could. But when he started to get cold & stiff I had to go because it was getting too real for me that he was really gone.

I know he is here with us because he is talking to martin a lot. but it’s not the same.

I’m going to miss his “good morning mama! how’s it going?” Or his “How’s it going pretty mama?” I’d say “Good! How’s it going w/you?” He’d say everytime “Awesome!” Or his “WHo’s the prettiest mama??”and I HAVE to say “ME!” I will never get over this EVER!

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY SON FOR 16 WONDERFUL YEARS!

    Hi, Connie and Martin —
    I don’t know what to say to you both. This is horrible. I am so sorry. Of course you will never get over this — Andrew is part of your soul, and he was taken too soon. It is my hope that the pain will heal and subside, though. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
    Love,
    Wendy

    I am at a total loss for words and can’t stop the tears. My heart goes out to you Connie, Martin, Elatia and all your family who are sharing this devastating loss.
    Andrew has touched my life in a huge way these past 5 months with his courage, strength, humour and most of all his love for life. He was made for greater things and he has gone ‘home’ for his next assignment. Know that he will never leave your sides, that he will walk with you always.
    My heart aches for the grief you are bearing. You have all been an inspiration to me and the 100s of others who have had the priviledge to get to know your beautiful son through your daily writings on the ATP boards. I admire your courage and bravery, even if you didn’t feel very brave at times – you have been amazing.
    When I heard the news early this morning I went to each of my 3 daughters and told them Andrew had passed over and I gave them a huge hug and told them how much I loved them – I couldn’t think what else to do. I thanked God for their health and love.
    In sharing your journey you have made me realise what matters most in my life and to take nothing for granted.
    I am sending you so much love and prayers as you face the days, weeks, months ahead.
    God bless each and every one of you.

    Myra

    I just wanted to let you know that you are all in my prayers!! I am in awe of all the courage and humor Andrew had throughout this journey. Even though he’s in a better place now, I know how much you will all miss him. I feel honored to have gotten to know Andrew these last few months and feel to privileged to know you Connie and Martin. Adam also sends his prayers, condolences and love.

    If here is anything I can do, please let me know!!

    Hugs,
    Janice

    Dearest Connie & Martin,

    This has been a shock to so many of us. So many of us grieve today. Sandra said, “Over these months Andrew became ours”. I feel so broken ever since I heard this last night. My thoughts have been with you. If you go to the ATP board you’ll see how many have been touched by this news…how many have been crying.

    I am thankful to hear from you on this blog. Because I’m going crazy thinking how you both are. What helps most….even though it is not the same is…Martin is such an amazing medium…through him you can always stay in touch with Andrew. I’m so glad Andrew is talking a lot with you. Is he happy? Is he ok? Please let us know…because over these months he really became so much to us.

    Is there anything I can do to help? Email me/call me.

    Love,
    Swati

    Dearest Connie,
    You have been not far from my thoughts since I learned of Andrew’s passing about 9:50 a.m. yesterday.

    I only met Andrew briefly during one of your shows and he seemed shy. I didn’t have time to really get to know him, sit and have a chat, or a joke. :-( But I had such a good impression of him. So sweet: such good, kind energy. A good soul. Bright and gentle. I could tell he loved and respected his parents.

    I’ll ask him to help me when I get disaffected teenage boy or girl clients.

    I wish so much I could just sit with you and be there for whatever emotional expression you needed to let out.

    I know that we’ve shared physical space about three times and those were around performances where I felt I should give you space, but I so enjoyed your shows and the little time we had to talk afterward, or at that one dinner. I looked forward to perhaps seeing more of you when you moved to Southern California. I’d like to be more of a friend…

    I remember what kind of shape I was in after my parents died, and I know that pales in comparison to what you are going through. I’m glad you have the comfort of communication with Andrew. I’m seeing him kind of brushing your cheek and lightly push your hair back. Did he ever tease you by lightly tugging your hair? I’m smiling as I’m getting something about you guys used to “rassle” with each other (he probably did it with Da more). You guys were a great threesome and he’ll still be with you.

    I was so touched by your description of him asking both of you to dance. He wants to make sure you two stay close and he celebrates and honors your life, too.

    Hugs,
    Leo
