Grandad and his enthusiasm for animals was at least partly responsible for me deciding I wanted to be a vet. I loved how it brought him so much joy and fascination to hear all about my job. I’m sure however that the rest of the family won’t miss hearing us have a detailed discussion about exactly how turkeys are prepared, whilst everyone is eating their dinner. Grandad thank you for passing down your love of animals, teaching me how to milk the goats, and telling me that you don’t always need the answer straight away, sometimes the best thing to do is to stop and think a while. I will miss your big bear hugs and cheeky chuckle when you made a joke to wind one of us up. |
