I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be

-Robert Munsch

He was held and loved his entire life. We will tell more of his story soon, but wanted to share this with all of you now.

Please know that the love and support from all over is reaching through our tears and helping us so much during this time.

Some of you have asked about gifts or donations. Although we don't need anything ourselves, if you would like to give a gift we would appreciate a contribution towards Oscar's burial and memorial (we would love to get him a memorial plaque at the hospital, as well as his burial site). If you want to make a donation in his name, BC Women's Hospital and Canuck Place were instrumental in the excellent care we all received. You can make a donation for his memorial plaque (the money raised goes to BC Women's Hospital) here or to Canuck Place here.

We look forward to telling more of his story soon. We are blessed by how many people want to share it.

Love Jill, Peter, Emma, Alice, and Oscar
