This is Andrew’s mom. My sweet Andrew passed on January 7. He is rejoicing with the angels now. Please pray for him. This MAKE A WISH was a huge highlight of his life ❤️ We will never forget how kind Tedy Bruschi and the whole NE Patriots organization was and how wonderful the Make A Wish program is.

I am so very sorry to hear of this Cynthia. From the video above, he had so much love surrounding him. My deepest sympathies to you and your family💙

This might be the best Make-A-Wish I've ever seen. Bruschi seems like a genuine guy that actually cares. Andrew's father served in Iraq and seeing him get teared up got me teared up. Best of luck in the future Andrew.

Tedy Bruschi was one of my favourite football players, and this was just the sweetest and kindest things I have ever seen. As good a player as he was (HOF one day) he is a greater man.

Live right near him and i have met him in multiple occasions. Hes such a nice guy and hes done a lot for my town and my school. In my opinion he was the perfect patriot and perfect football player.

Bruschi is what a class act looks like

These stories are all great especially when there is a similar medical bond between the child and his hero. But one of the risks of checking in on these shows 12 years on is knowing for some of these wish kids a full recovery is not in the cards. So sorry to hear that Andrew died recently. As someone who had seven brain surgeries by the time I was Andrew's age in this story, I completely connect with the pain, uncertainty and ultimately the lack of a healthy outcome for so many medically challenged kids. My thanks to this brave family for sharing their story then and even more so for publicly sharing their loss now.

Why do I watch these, I just end up crying :) - I love when the stars do these things, it means so much for these kids!

And they both went through a lot. Teddy Bruschi also had a stroke in 2005 and started October 29, 2005 against Buffalo and played in most of the remaining games of that year and this kid Andrew had multiple heart surgeries and is playing soccer, a CONTACT sport. I'd say they are both fighters.

I'm not a sports fan but watching these players with these kids pulls heartstrings and I now know why my mom, who died Jan 15th this year left some money to children's wish foundation of canada. God bless these guys.

Wow Bruschi seems like a super good dude. He seemed generally happy and interested to be helping this kid out. good for him

I love it!!! They went above and beyond for this lil man!! God bless them all!!

They don’t make them like Tedy anymore. Honored to be a fan of his.

I love Tedy Bruschi. I almost wrote to him after my father had a devastating stroke. He was a life long Patriots fan....heck a fan of every Boston team. He passed away a few months later. Its been about 15 years and I still regret not writing that letter. I'm happy for the kid that he got to meet him.

Grown man here, still tearing-up watching this videos. Such class, generosity and respect shown by these sports stars to grant these kids their wishes. Raise a kid on sports, they'll have heroes for life. Those heroes always give back.

From a Seahawks fan myself , Class act ... Patriots pulled it off well . Respect.

I’m so sorry to anyone who’s child was diagnosed with something like this man... I pray for all their recoveries ❤️❤️❤️

Such an amazing story. I always shed tears. The difference between Tedy and others is that he is a great man who truly cares. The kid will never forget this day.

We are all patriots, congrats andrew!

This just makes me smile so big, my favorite team, and my favorite thing to watch.

Tedy Bruschi is my all time Favorite Hero, Gent and remarkable Human being, I have his Jersey on in my pic and still wear it today, Bless Tedy and Bless Andrew, brave young lad, from Massive Pats fan in UK, 🌹👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

These kids look up to all the athletes, but it's us people and the athletes who look up to these strong children who deal with the difficulties every day of their lives, but continue on with a smile!! Love seeing these kinda videos......

It’s so good that kids get to have this sort of thing happen to them after all they go through

I got to hang out with Tedy Bruschi tonight. Such a great guy in person as well.

Ive seen these all a thousand times and i still cry like a baby every time. Bless the make a wish foundation and all these children.

Tedy Bruschi was a "D" playmaker and captain. He also came back to play after a stroke. This is the stuff of legends I thought, then I saw this and it reminded me of the great man off field that he always has been too. This wicked cool kid got a dream day with his own hero Tedy Bruschi. Thanks to Make a Wish and Tedy Bruschi for this amazing day in one boys life. Bruschi really made a difference in one young life and that makes him a real hero in my book. Thanks Bruschi for being you.

Out of all of the amazing Make-A-Wish videos, this one still is the most touching of them all!

this is making me want to cry

this might be one of the best make a wish stories I've ever seen. he's such an enthusiastic kid. love his smile.

you can never get enough of these videos

These are the NFL stories that should be played for all to see

Andrew is one of the cutest kids ever

Greatest player in patriots history. He always stepped up wen we needed him most. And this shows how great of a guy he is to. We love u tedy!!!

I'm not crying, my eyes are just sweating.

One of a kind! Tedy Bruschi is the best! You can tell he is dead seriously enjoying his time with him.

I bet he was so happy for the patriots to win the super bowl

Pats nation loves you teddy!

So amazing. The celebrities who do this look like they're having as much fun as the kids. Especially Tedy...Thanks man
