After Oliver's Birthday Party, Nic and I went to the hospital to visit Pop. He was in good spirits, although we could tell he was disappointed that he had missed Oliver's birthday party. We spent a good amount of time catching up with him, before saying our goodbyes. We tried to keep positive, saying things like "We'll see you again soon," but in our hearts, Nic and I were both aware of the strong possibility that this would be our last goodbye to Pop. We both told him we love him, hugged him goodbye and I gave him a kiss.
When we got back home, I got to spend some more time with Oliver. I just couldn't get enough of him and it was very hard to say goodbye. The past two weeks with him were just amazing and I am sure gonna miss hugging and kissing him. After our goodbyes, we played a game with Stu, then Nic and I grabbed our favorite fish and chips for dinner. Rob, Susan, Nic, Stu and I ate the fish-n-chips as a celebratory dinner for Rob's birthday and as our farewell dinner. Somehow, we had managed to fit in all of our favorite meals in that one short week. The fish-n-chips meal is usually the meal Nic and I have with his Grandma and Pop, but since Pop had been in the hospital, this was the best we could do. After dinner, we ate a bit more cake, then packed for our early morning flight home. Susan and I said a tearful goodbye that night and Nic and I went to bed.
