I'm Paddy but Granddad insisted on calling me Patrick! John Meredith was our Granddad. My brother and I have fond memories of him, especially when he took us for our swimming lessons. He teased us not to get wet in the water but always let us spend our locker money in the cafe afterwards. We didn't think of him as having a disability but he would want others to have the opportunity to have surgery to make their lives as full as his.
