Most Recent Posts Andraez's StoryPosted Jul-17-08 10:24:31 PDT There was a time in early 2002 when everything seemed perfect. Harmony, balance and happiness were ours. My wife, Joey, and I enjoyed interacting and watching our young three boys as their unique personalities developed and their world formed. The day came when I decided to rent an office and begin creating the program, (then called Genius Child). My son Andreaz thought it was cool that Dad was going to help children of the world. Only one month into the project, however, came the news that would turn our lives upside down. Andraez had recently had pain in his shoulder. After a week of exams, testing and probing, our little Andraez was diagnosed with Osteo Sarcoma bone cancer. The tumor in his shoulder extended down to his elbow, and had metastasized to his ribs and lungs. I researched over 300 cases. I found all of the cases were horrible and painful for the children. They all ended in one result, death. High dose Chemo, removal of his arm at the shoulder as well as parts of his ribs and lungs were just the beginning. I requested to the doctors we move towards plan B. There wasn’t a plan B. I was informed that if the patient is under the age of 16 that the parent has no medical choice as to the protocol. CPS was at our door the next day, where they threatened to make Andraez a ward of the state if we resisted their protocol. With CPS and time applying unthinkable pressure, the decision, with the help of Andraez, was made. And so just only a few days before Christmas '02, Andraez and I flew to the distant east. Upon our arrival three master healers met with us and told us that Andreaz was one of the “Ancient Ones”. They told me that I was the student and Andreaz was the teacher. I was to pay close attention to what would be happening in the near future. They could not save the soul whose time was done here. 28 days later we returned home and CPS was at our door. They were threatening to take away all of our children if we did not agree to the protocol. So we agreed while secretly planning our disappearing act. We left for our adventure, and Andreaz got to experience anything he desired within our capabilities. He would chuckle about how popular he’d become. My wife had to return home. Andraez and I had to journey on to a more aggressive treatment. It was the last time he would spend with his brothers and mom, as the Andraez they've always known. One night in our hotel room Andreaz was flipping through the channels. He stopped and said, “Dad that’s the guy from Shallow Hal.” He was referring to Tony Robbins. I explained how Tony helped people with their lives and businesses. Andreaz then told me, “He’s going to help you with Genius Child, Dad.” He insisted that I write down the 800 number. So, I did. A few minutes later Andraez's breathing worsened, and he couldn't catch his breath. We left for the hospital. Mom flew in the next day. We were informed that Andraez was dying, and he wouldn't be able to leave the hospital which stretched three thousand miles from home. To our amazement, a gift from above came through in the form of some heartfelt hospital staff; a jet flight was arranged and paid for. Yes, Andraez would get to spend his final days at home. Friends and family came to visit him over the weekend. But when Monday morning came, his going home turned out different than we had hoped. At 7am, on the 7th floor, our 7 lettered named child Andraez, pushed off his oxygen mask and said, "Turn off my lungs". "What?” we replied shocked, and he said it again clearly, "turn off my lungs". I tried to put the mask back on anyway, but he put his hand on my wrist and gently pushed it away, letting go of the oxygen that kept him alive. And as he did so, I still remember the look in his eyes, that look that somehow said it was time for him to go, and please, dad, let me go. My arm went limp. He smiled. I hugged him, telling him how much I loved him and how proud I was to be his father, and that he could go to the "other side" that we'd talked about where we'll see him again soon. Within a minute or two he relaxed as he let go his final breath, and Andraez, indeed made it home. About a month later we decided to move to Grants Pass, OR. Here our healing could begin. Just before leaving state a ray of hope came shining through. I was at a sports bar when I heard the very familiar voice of Tony Robbins on the T.V. I immediately raced home and opened the tiny suitcase of Andraez’s that I hadn’t dared open until now. I had to dig through his clothes, his little shoes, his hat, (his scent), before I found it. That piece of hotel room note paper with the 800 number on it that Andraez insisted I write down. "He's going to help you with the Genius Child business, dad". I called the number right then and there. The next day, I was introduced to Mimi Peak, one of Tony's Master Elite Coaches, who said she would be honored to coach a man who provided the dignified path for his child as I had. In honor of Andraez, my children's life empowerment program was once again awakened. It would now be different, with much more power, insight and love, fueled by an infinite energy source. Since then the name of the program has been changed to “The Secret to the Unlimited Child”. And now I proudly present to the world, a dad's dream becoming a reality, and a gift inspired by a very special little boy, our angel, Andraez Diego Lee. |
