SickKids

Life without Peter is very difficult. I don't know what to even say about it outloud or online, so I won't even attempt anything here at this point. Lots of tears and heartache continue, good days and bad, but a lot of emptiness without Peter, for all of us. Meanwhile, these commercials recently came to my attention, and if there is anyone who visits this blog anymore, they are worth seeing, although they will also make you cry.

This commercial is one I saw posted on one of the facebook medical sites I used to visit for support with Peter's care. It does a pretty good job capturing the "mom" experience of a chronically ill child. SickKids VS: MomStrong

This next one also captures what it is like to watch your chronically ill child go through countless procedures as he is growing up. This is the commercial that reminded me so much of the endless procedures, doctor visit, medical tests, fears, and hopes Peter went through. SickKids VS: This Is Why 

Peter went through a lot in his short life. He was a brave kid, like so many who face chronic and/or serious illness. He met a lot of amazing, loving medical heroes along the way, too, patients and staff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78mNZeDaMtk&feature=youtu.be
