  4. Opa, Peter—a man who played a deeply influential role in my life, especially during my formative years.

    Some of my fondest memories are of school holidays spent at the farm in Ruffy. Those times shaped me more than I probably realised back then. Whether we were out on the land or in the shearing shed, Opa was always there—quiet, steady, and full of wisdom. He didn’t need many words to teach me the value of hard work, patience, and kindness.

    He was a grounding presence in my life, someone I looked up to and learned so much from just by being around him. His influence lives on in me, in how I see the world, and in the memories I’ll always carry.

    Thank you, Opa. I love you, and I’ll miss you always.
