Special Angels - August 6, 2008
| The news of Aidan’s quest for a miracle has spread, and with it so have the numbers of his friends and supporters. Where there is a need, there is another Angel stepping forward to take care of it. Dane Idler and his father Darrell are just the latest example of the tremendous generosity and compassion that has been displayed on Aidan’s behalf. | |
| At the request of their friends Lauree & Bob Cannon, Dane & Darrell agreed to take on the job of completing the installation of the carpeting that was donated by Ron Thornhill owner of Benjamin’s Carpet One in Richland. What remained was probably the most difficult, with the hallway and stairs that were yet to be done. Their volunteering of their time to complete this effort would have been generous on its own, but they wished to do even more. Being friends of the Detroit Tigers pitcher Jeremy Bonderman, Dane & Darrel made a special request and asked Jeremy to stop by to visit Aidan. This was possible because Jeremy is currently home recuperating from an injury and is out for the rest of the 2008 MLB season. On Wednesday the plan came together, and Jeremy arrived knocking at Aidan’s door. |

Aidan was all smiles and hamming it up with Jeremy during this surprise visit. Jeremy presented Aidan with a signed photograph with the same picture used on his baseball card, autographed Sage’s Jeremy Bonderman rookie card, and donated one of his Detroit Tigers team caps. If you know Aidan you know that he requires a cap a little larger than most, but it will be some time before he will fit into Jeremy’s 7 3/8” sized cap. When Aidan’s all grown up, it should fit him perfectly! The count just keeps growing… we continue to be amazed by the generosity of friends, family, and total strangers (soon to be friends). Dane, Darrel, and Jeremy are just the latest in a continuing string of folks that are taking the time to make a little boy smile and to help him emotionally, physically, and monetarily. It surely will be Angels like these that will make Aidan’s miracle possible. Bless all of you today and every day, Aidan's Nanni | |
