OH, my father passed when I was 22 years old ... Jan 1973 ... I was married for just a few months (and my parents hadn't been fond of the man at all... he's an X now ... lol ... ) and my dad was just the greatest guy ... I feel sad around the times of the anniversary of his birth and death that I didn't get to know him adult to adult and that my daughter never got to know the truly kind, funny, good guy who was her grandfather ... That's great that you get on well with your step ! ... My mother dated a man from within a year after my dad's death until her own in 1980 ... After her passing the family lost touch with the man ... xo
