Darling little boy was father. And he was everyone's darling. He was quite good looking, came from an established family, and could 'do no wrong' if you know what I mean.

I got to know him later on in life. He was a very interesting man. I understood, however from one of his half-brothers that he did not really grow up until about eight years before his death. Who knows... I know he and second wife remained together all their lives, and they had a good relationship together. She had weathered about two other divorces I believe and this one stuck for both of them. I am happy for them that something finally worked out... or... that they were able to work it out.

He was the one who fathered me... but he wasn't a father in the real sense of the word... that sounds mean, but I don't think he knew how to be one. He never had any other children. I believe from what I heard, that he knew how to be a good friend and was quite talented continuing to fly, to hang glide.. photography was a huge thing to him and I believe a picture of his hung on display in the Smithsonian years ago. I have a copy of that picture rolled up... LOL I wonder if I could ever get it unrolled??? hummmmmmm

He died of pancreatic cancer. He was opened up and closed and given about six months to live. He lived five healthy years, continued flying and hang gliding and lived life to the fullest I understand. He was able to die at home... I talked to him shortly before he did die by phone.

Lesson here... Never Ever believe a negative diagnosis... ..... EVER.... why believe someone elses level of understanding... that understanding keeps increasing... why should we believe where someone else resides at the moment... oh well ;) ask a short question and get a long answer...

and next time if I write a long answer I shall try to read what I have written as though I am the new reader... LOL... after all... I understood what I was writing, but I had lived it... smiles... silly Fran
