DQ my own father likely knew that I would disappoint him from time to time as I am sure that I did, but he never stopped loving me. Did not mean that what he told me to do was wrong.

On your second point sure; at the age of ten I got into an argument with a speeding truck. The truck won and I spent a month in traction, then another month in a full body cast, as the bumper sticker says excrement occurs.

We love our children but there comes a time when they leave the nest and your heart aches at what life does to them sometines but there is nowt you can do.

Well, there's not much point in chopping logic here. Had the whole thing down to sawdust ages ago.

I still find it to be a wonderful life. Let's celebrate.

Might as well celebrate, it's the only life you get.

Or at least I hope so. One of 'em will be enough for me.
