My own bed! It was so awesome to drive into Alberta, and know that I was home! I love my province! So far, this trip has opened my eyes to how the kids feel, the ones who have to sleep in hospital beds for weeks on end, and sometimes don't even get to leave that room. We're in an RV, and it can get pretty tight sometimes, but you know what, the next time I want my own bed and my own house, I'll remember all the kids who can't have that. Today we visited the Alberta Children's Hospital, where we met so many kids. I was surprised to find that there are seventeen kids in the Oncology unit, from age 11months-17years. We met lots of them, all with different stories and situations, and in the moment it was cool to meet the kids and see their smiles, but when I left the hospital and was on the way home, the reality of this disease hit me. These kids are limited in what they can do, where they can go, and what things they can experience. Bringing Tim today, was a change for them, and all of them were pretty excited to see him! They had posters up all over the unit, so all of the kids knew who he was.
Since BC, its been lots of fun on the road. We are here in Airdrie for a few more days, and Tim leaves again on Sunday. Sorry about not having that video up guys, I'll do my best to put it up tonight!
