It has been exactly one calendar month since Ethan died.
It still feels quite unreal at times and I think I am still trying to come to terms with not just his passing but also the fact that he became that ill to begin with.
I had accepted the fact that Ethan was doing well, he had coped reasonably well that winter (though we had a few trips to A&E and he was put back on oxygen a few times but no stay in hospital) and I really thought we were out of the woods.
In fact even through out the illness he was for the most part still his happy playful self. It was only just as he was admitted to PICU that he became unhappy and only his very last day did he show any signs of discomfort.
Such a brave little boy who had a smile for everyone.
A month with out his smile, or a ruffle of his wonderful hair.
A month feels like a long time.
I have found a video I took of Ethan Winter 2011. He was standing watching his favorite video at the time in just his nappy and a top, laughing away. It seems such a long time ago now.
Still I proceed with the charity event in Ethan's name to celebrate that he lived at all. Please buy tickets.
