Growing up

Monday, August 13, 2007 by Philip

A few years ago, I was talking with my farther, just after my wife had given birth to our son. I was adjusting to life as a farther, and wanted some advice from him.

I was wondering: When do you feel like a "grown up". I had just been through this life changing event, and I wasn't feeling any different. In fact I was still feeling like a large child.

My farther smiled and said: So do I.

At the time he was almost 80 years old.
