Daddy's Little MR.

We went to a big pig roast fundraising event yesterday. It was amazing, someday in the future we would love to have one that big but for now we are planing just a little one, maybe for Halloween to raise funds and  donate in Jack's honour . We decided to do the BC Children's hospital first as they are trying to raise funds to build a better and more efficient PICU that will also have a bed for a Mummy or Daddy to sleep and a private bathroom. They were kind enough to give us an office to sleep in when we were there as in Jack's case we had to stay very close. They rarely had cases before like Jacks with all the sudden arising complications and they rarely had cases of a child staying that long in the PICU. Jack was a fighter, he surprised them everyday with his incredible strength and endurance.

OK I wandered off topic; at the fundraiser there was a tattoo artist and Codie's mom bless her heart offered to get one for Codie. I am not able to get one at this time, but I plan to one day. . It looks beautiful and now he can carry you wherever he goes. He did almost faint at one point, it was pretty hot in there and it was his first tattoo. I don't have any yet either. It says Jack Damian Wilbee my little Mr 10.04.10-03.03.11. He is so proud of you baby and tries so hard to make you proud too.

Mummy, Daddy and Jack forever

Beautiful Michelle and Codie. I am glad to hear that you are going to do a fund raiser. What a wonderful idea and a great tribute to Jack. xo

The fundraiser sounds like a great thing to be a part of. Hopefully enough money was raised.
Love the tattoo. I plan to get one on my foot for Liam one day, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

That tattoo is so nice. Fund raiser is a good idea. Jack will be proud of his mom and pop.

The fundraiser is a great idea and I am sure that it will be a great success. I love the tattoo. This morning my sister and I were talking about maybe getting one for Bella.

Beautiful tattoo and a great way to carry Jack around at all times. I have a charity I support too. It's for parents who have mounting bills at home because they are out of work either for the death of a child or a very sick child. The founder is a good friend of mine now.

Good for you for getting involved and doing something in Jack's name. xoxo
