Century Post

I can't believe that it has been a hundred days since Parker was moved to isolation. I started writing messages the day he was placed in isolation and although there have been the odd day that I have not written a post I do try my best.

Today we were pleasantly surprised at the support that we have received in Durham. Not Durham North Carolina, but Durham Ontario where Ajax is. We were contacted a few weeks back when the article in the Toronto Star came out from a woman in Ajax. She, with her sister-in-law own a little shop in Ajax that sells very beautiful furniture and accessories for the home. They wanted to do a fundraiser for Parker.

Today, they had a special sale at their store. They sold raffle tickets, had an outdoor sale, as well as donated 10% of their total sales to Parker's cause. We dropped by today during the sale and were so surprised at the turnout and support we got from our community. We are so very appreciative.

If anyone is out this way, you really should drop by their store and take a look around. They really do have some very wonderful stuff there. They do have a website, so you can get directions from there. Thank you so much to everyone who took part.

Hi Parker,

Wow, so many things are happening in your life right now! There's the excitement of the World Cup (which I am sure that in a few years you will be able to see how much it excites your dad when Italy plays!), there is sweet potato (yum) and fingers on your hands! Wow! Lots of stuff happening, cutie.

Keep exploring the world around you!

Love,
Elizabeth
