My best freind’s father was 72 when he was born. He died at about 82 when my freid was 10. My dad, on the other hand, started early and is only 18 years older than me. I’ve spent a lifetime doing things with my dad that’s more akin to things brother do.
My freid was robbed of a father and this women’s offspring likely will too.
This woman’s children were robbed of a father when she decided to have them on her own through IVF and no partner.
I know what you mean. My oldest son was born when I was 18 and we've had lots of fun together. It's been nice to be able to do so much (especially physically) with the kids. The downside is/was that the kids leave the nest earlier in your life and sometimes it was hard to relate to some parents.
