The kids, both veterans, survived and have both done well.

My nephew in law had that very thing happen and reversal surgery failed. One of my wife's best friends now 57 years old remained childless due to the same scenario.

I was able to spend more time with last child after I got of construction and got a maintenance job. 23. First and only. Accident .. but not a mistake. 35 years later ... there is absolutely no doubt I won the kid lottery. I have no delusions she's perfect, but she's been the perfect kid for me. More than that, minus that unplanned event, I think I'd be dead already. Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip. Here be dragons ...

At 60 I can still play a little soccer and ski moguls with the kids but I wear out faster than I used to. I’m much more patient as an older father but less energetic and I lament the likelihood of not seeing grandchildren. Love those boys though!
