[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 560467, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]At this moment, I'm feeling rather numb mixed with sadness. Both of my parents died before I was out of my teens. My mother passed when I was nine and my father, while not abusive in any manner, really had no clue about parenting. I was intent on being a 100% participatory parent to my daughters. It pains me to contemplate that my grandchildren may grow up without a fully invested father. I know that I cannot assume a father's role. My daughter would not want that to happen and, frankly, I'm too old. Fact: Life expectancy of a Vietnam veteran=66 years. I hit that mark a decade ago. Of those of us on the initial Agent Orange register, only about 12% (2020) are still alive. I know my time is limited; far too limited to be anything other than a grandfather.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
