Grandpa was the eldest male ancestry figure I knew who lived
during my childhood. He had great passion for animals, and made a good career as a wild
life expert. He had a huge
house with a very large compound where
some of his wild
animals roamed freely.

Spending time at his house
was such a great fun. My sisters and I enjoyed the liberty to play
with all his animals. He
had lions and other large cats, but we we only allowed to play with their curbs. He also
had gorillas, crocodiles,
other reptiles and eagles. Can you believe he once gave me a grown jackal, and mum would
let me keep it. What
could be cooler than scaring other kids in the area with your own very dragon.
Grandpa
was really cool. He enjoyed life, and he told the best stories. He always said one can never
be be too kind – especially
to strangers. He says nothing fulfils the heart as the
kindness of a stranger; and that a stranger is none until you’ve met.
Our Grand Dad
May his soul rest in perfect peace and
harmony.
