You’re lucky to be here—but all of us are. The odds against any one person coming into existence are astronomical. In the case of my father’s friend, I think his older son must have been born somewhere around 1953-55, and the younger one who died probably a couple of years later. The mother would sometimes encounter people who would insinuate that she was selfish for having only one child (people who did not know the story). That must have been particularly painful.
WHOO HOO!!! can I buy him a beer or will that ruin his blood for donations? I don’t want that to happen.
What an awesome dude. Many blessings.
Yes, that was it. Thanks. I didn’t Google very well and didn’t find it after a few pages of some death metal goth group.
And thanks for letting me know my memory isn’t totally shot at my age! lol
