I know that feeling. My baby boy towers over me.

I am lucky, genetically. None of the men in my family ever developed a bald spot. (My hair falls down past my shoulders, still dark, the solid grey beard gives me away).
But, being Navy, none of them lived to retirement age of 65. Gives me 12 years, to be the longest lived man in the family in 4 generations.
40 years ago, (Vietnam War), I didn't know if I was going to wake up alive the next day. Now, I'm a grandfather. How the hell did that happen?
