Popeye - when my husband was receiving palliative care the mental health people came to visit him connected to the hospice - they used to talk to him about all sorts - I would leave them alone but could hear them - often they would talk about things he would like to do - one day I heard him tell the bloke that he wanted to go fishing with my son and grandson - just wanted to throw his line in - the bloke talked about maybe the 3 of them could just go to the beach and park up - he knew he couldn’t he was on 24/7 oxygen - another day I heard him talking about going to the dog park - I think it was just to keep him remembering the good times - one day one turned up he had purple spiked hair winkle picker shoes striped stove pipe trousers and a floral shirt - the look on my old boys face was hilarious but enjoyed talking to him - he went to leave but hadn’t got out the door and my husband called out at the top of his voice “What did you think of that wanxxx- the bloke said to me that he wished I could see the look on my face - actually he returned several times and even after Philip passed he came .Dont take it to heart Popeye he was probably just humouring Mr P - one thing I would say even though my husband was terminally ill he died very suddenly and I am glad on the last night he was lucid we had a fantastic 3 hours with a Robie - so many times he drove us nuts but I would have found it hard to live with was the last thing we said to one another was me complaining - would give anything to have him here complaining about the cup of tea having too much sugar or not enough sugar
Don’t give yourself a hard time Popeye they won’t let him come home just humour him - you have been best mates for so many years - that’s just my tuppence worth look after yourself - Missy will love the grass especially cat mint
