One of my best hunting/fishing buddies is my dad, who is only 18 years older than me. I am truly glad he is not 62 years older than me.
My grandfather was 20 when my father was born, and Dad says he never minded being an only child, because his father and his father's friends were like his brothers.
I feel like an "old" mother at 39 ... I can't imagine doing this at 62!
