I am so sorry for your loss. AJ had a way of brightening any day, even when he was so very sick from his treatments. I will miss the warm hugs he me gave every time I saw him. I know he was just my "patient" but sometimes some patients touch your heart more than others. And AJ was one of those patients for me.
