All I can say is thank you for sharing this with us. After my grandpa died their farm was sold out of the family and a few years later we got permission from the new owners to stop by and take a look around. When we did the changes to the main house and property actually made my heart hurt. I've not been able to go passed there again since as I prefer to have my memories of how it was in the forefront of my mind. I can't imagine how hard this would have been if it were the house I grew up in.

I totally agree! My childhood home sat on 4.5 acres and it wasn't country/farming any more. Parents gone, house and property sold, house was razed and it was hard watching the entire property change! 6 2 unit homes our there now. I cry going passed it😢😢

My Dad died when I was 17, had been ill all his life with Crohns, had 5 sons and made it to 57. He was a jeweller and was extremely well known as " the man who can " when nobody else could. He has always been and always will be my greatest hero, a trully inspiring man. And like you I often wish he was here to see the things I do, to help steer me at times, and to meet his 3 Grandchildren. When I want to be close to him, I sit at my bench and begin a new piece of jewellery, something exiting, and I can feel him looking over my shoulder. I am sure your father would be proud of his children. Thanks for the share, it reminded me of my Dad, and that is always a good thing.

I was right with you there, Graeme. My childhood home has gone the other way - people bought it, cut down my willow tree, and extended it over the garage and out to the side - so it's in good nick but it's not really where I grew up any more. Like they say, you can never go home again; but you can make a new one and from what I've seen you and Mrs. Hoof GP have made a fine job of doing that.

Then we all went off to live our lives, the building was flooded, my parents died and the Camp is a ruin now, used for storage. I know how you feel.

Kim Asp .I am so sorry for your Dads diagnosis. Keep creating memories with him as long as you can and stay strong.

[@ccpperrett7522]

Much love to you. Hugs.

[@taylorh5549]

Typical dad, the lawn has to always look perfect! :) in all seriousness my heart goes out to you and your family during this time. I guess the positive that comes out of having a diagnosis(im in no way saying cancer is positive btw) is that you have time to tell him how much you love him and be able to say goodbye and everything else you want to say. My sister suddenly passed when i was 14 and I wish i had gotten the chance to say I love you one last time. Get as many hugs in while you can

[@TheHoofGP]

Kim I'm so sorry to hear this. Hope you are all ok.

[@AfterTheRains]

Kim Asp, so sorry for your family. You’re dad obviously has spirit. My closest friend for 56 years was given 6 months and just passed away recently 3 years after diagnosis. She had spirit too.

[@rachellucky]

I live in America, and with all of the difficulties going on over here right now, I truly love The Hoof GP videos. They calm my soul. Maybe because I know you are out there easing pain, the world needs more of that right now. So thank you. You’re wonderful!

[@frostyfrost4094]

Stay safe Rachel.

[@rachellucky]

Frosty Frost you too! ❤️

[@blakethornton8578]

Rachel they calm my soul also. I grew up in this. Today I miss these times. Think of my grandchildren often and they will never know. If no markets they would starve.

[@johnharrell4335]

Yes I agree with you Rachel,, I'm in the States myself, I raise Beef Cattle and I've enjoyed watching this I just came across it

[@rachellucky]

@@johnharrell4335 it’s quite a rabbit hole! I never in a million years expected to love this channel as much as I do. What state are you a farmer in?

[@randolphbutler1832]

Early teen years are hard enough. Loss of a parent is much worse. You are smart to focus on your happy memories. You grew up in a lovely location. Peaceful place of rest for your dad. Thank you for sharing.

[@lauriebradley8295]

Thank you Graeme. So touching to see your old family home. What a beautiful day❤️👍🏼

[@TheRealDogfart]

When you've lost a parent, memories from your past always stir up mixed emotions. Your dad would be proud - no doubt. Much in common with this one. (Yoda)

[@deborahjohnson6533]

It was moving to see you talking about your old home and your happy memories with your family..You did seem you where near tears, Your past has made you the man you are today and I am sure your family is proud of you especially your father..

[@johnratcliffe6438]

That was an emotional episode; I'm off to bubble 😭 I'm sure your Dad would be super proud of you.

[@susangardner3418]

That big boy is gorgeous . I love cows . I can’t imagine not having my Dad around love and prayers to you . That must have been really hard for you seeing your old house and visiting your Dad .

[@rickjohnson8109]

Thank you for being the great man you are today and helping so many cows. Also, sharing so much with us of your past and your Dad. I’m for sure that your Dad would be so proud of you

[@RockinTheBassGuitar]

We lost my father-in-law almost a year ago. My husband is really missing him. Seeing you remember your dad helps me somehow.

[@jiaswan22]

I needed this gentle, peaceful, quiet, and sentimental video. I needed to see tender feelings of love and goodness. Thank you. And I am sure that bull thanks you too for getting that beast of a stone out of his foot!

[@manson2811]

This video was the best part of 2020. Thank you for sharing something so intimate with us. It was like we were with you. I just wanted to give you a hug when you went into your old home and talked about fond and funny memories. It was just a great experience for us all. Thank you!

[@kendallricker9633]

I can relate to having lost a parent at a young age, my mom passes when I was 8, she was 42, I have outlived her by 18 years. It twisted my head a little when I got close to the age she passed. Keep the good memories alive and pass them on to your kids. Thanks for sharing and look forward to the next one.

[@slimypeach]

I understand how you feel. I lost my mom when I was 3 and she was 24. My 24th birthday is in about 2 weeks and it’s such a strange feeling, and I don’t know how I should feel about it.

[@FalconryMagic]

Thank you for taking us into your past 💜 It was lovely to share it with you 😊 As with your hoof Dr. side... fab as always 👌 The white bull though!! What a unit he is!!! I wonder what's the max weight your machine can cope with? 🤔

[@lorrainehurlbert9919]

Thank you for sharing your journey through your family home, your thoughts and feelings.

[@LauraE.9897]

You live in such a beautiful, peaceful looking place. Its so great to see someone so knowledgeable & caring about their profession. That was so nice of you to share your childhood home with us. I loved hearing the stories. Its a shame that it was left to get in such disrepair. Your memories of your childhood is what made it a home though & you'll always have that. I'm most certain that your Dad is very proud of who you've become & the Dad that you are. Another great video!🙂💜

[@brago900]

This video has reminded me of my father's childhood home, a house that was also claimed by nature when my grandparents abandoned it in order to live closer to their children once they retired. My father has always been saddened that his childhood home was abandoned until it became ruins and dust. His roots have always been very important to him and that his childhood home was not maintained, he feels it as a lack of respect for his roots. In the end only remain memories and a strange mixture of joy, sadness, longing and nostalgia...

[@mikenetolicky916]

Omg so true

[@ViolaLenoraAvelon]

@@mikenetolicky916 Thumbs up to you from me.

[@monabale8263]

binge watching this wonderful channel of hoofery, a thought occurs; "wonder if this guy has more than nail shavings up his sleeves?" not disappointed.

[@michellem2507]

Thank you for sharing some of the insight of your personal life. It shows how compassionate and caring and how proud of where you came from to where you are now.

[@elvishouck]

Your Dad sounds like he was a good man. Thank you for sharing your former home & Dad's memory with us.
