We all knew it was coming...the allure of Australia's very own hollywood would eventually call to our beloved Steve. But we thought maybe it would be at a time when we were ready to say goodbye! I don't really know when we thought that time would be!?!
Ever in particular is quite devastated at Uncle Steve's departure....ok, ok...she really doesn't have much of an idea that he's gone but I know if she understood the concept of people going away she totally would be! You see, Uncle Steve or Uncle SSSsssss as Ever calls him, has continually conquered the 'favourite' relatives list since Ever was born, much to the continued dismay of Aunty Chels and Grandma. They can spend days with her, giving her baths, changing her nappies, playing with blocks and reading her stories but when Uncle S walks into the room after two months away they are dropped like a hot potato!
Whenever Aunty Chelsea appears at the door, Ever eagerly looks past her saying 'Sssss?' When she sees a pair of men's shoes at the front door she says 'Sssss???' When she came to the dinner table last night after having her bath she looked over the guests slowly...grandma, granddad, aunty chelsea, uncle dean...and then said 'Sssss????' So maybe she does understand a little bit that he's not around.
We had the official goodbyes on Sunday and it was very sad. BUT we will see him again soon whenever Ever's sibling decides to arrive...woohoo! We will miss you a lot Steve and wish you all the best pursuing your dreams....
Last hugs...
