“Just going to figure I’m made of the same tough fiber as my ancestors.”
My old man (WW II Navy so no doubt the TCE, asbestoes, etc.) died years ago at 71 years old with leukemia and lung cancer. And his dad at 72 IIRC. I’m hoping to have more of my mom’s genes! (Her mom lived to 99 and died in her sleep living in her home alone and taking care of herself).
Yes, we’ll definitely root for you taking after your maternal side. Sorry about your dad.
