Chapter Six-(2013)

FAMILY GET TOGETHER FOR DAD IN HOSPITAL.

On the following day, Saturday, before we made the long trip back up
here to the Waikato, lots of family members organised a get-together
for Dad in Hospital.

Following are some photo's and notes. Dad was very tired and
very unwell, but he made a huge effort to get ready and attend the
get together, but he did not have enough strength to continue for very long.

Above, we can see Mum and Dad when the Birthday cake is presented with
candles lit. Matthew has the cake that his wife Pauline kindly made for Dad.

Matthew is the son of Dad's daughter Janice, and in the background is his
daughter Sarah being held by his own Dad Mike.

Dad is in his chair that the nurses bought him down on, and beside Dad is Mum,
and also Matthew and his three children Sam, Sarah and Aaron.

Another group sitting beside Dad is his daughter Carol, who sits beside her own
daughter Rachel, as well as Rachel's daughter Mishana, then Barbara and
her mother Helen.

Sitting beside Dad is Victor, whose dad is Trevor, my younger brother.

Mum is sitting beside Kelsey and her boyfriend. She is Victor's daughter.

Beside Dad is Kelsey. Behind Dad is Rachel and her mum Carol, with Matthew
in the doorway and my brother Trevor standing beside Dad.
