Best/worst things about being an older dad...

Best: I'm more financially secure than I've ever been so I can provide the basics for my children. And when college expenses start to hit, at least I'll be eligible for senior citizen discounts at restaurants.

Worst: The grandparents thing. I never got to meet either of my grandfathers, they were both dead before I was born. And my kids will never meet my father. I'm thankful for the good health of my mother, a truly "great" grandmother.
