What do you think vis a vis this old fossil? And my Dad sired me at age 45, so he was born in 1906. I doubt anyone on the Forum has a father born earlier.
My trophy second wife mother, his second marriage, after his first wife died after wasting away for 10 years in a tuberculosis sanatorium (whom he visited most days over those 10 years (and had no sex over that period as a virile young man), and to pass the time, they wrote True Confessions stories together which were published in that Mag to pass the time), was born in 1920. I think my Dad was close to the most amazing man on Earth really. I have never meant anyone else remotely like him, and certainly no one more estimable (he is still my functional equivalent of a personal God),
ever.
And then about the time I was born, my mother got a rare eye disease, the slowly blinded her over the ensuing 15 years, such that she could not read. Tough cards my Dad was dealt. He dealt with it all with courage and honor and loyalty. Thus he for those reasons, among so many others, is God to me. All I can do is endeavor to get closer to his high standards of personal conduct, before I hit the bucket, and revert to dust, and am forgotten.
