16. Terrific. Maybe you saw my post about Mom.

Like I said, not much to say about Dad. Didn't see him after I was 10 until I was 22, out of the blue. Then six months later I got a call from the Wayne County Morgue to ID him on a slab. That was about it.

You were fortunate. Thanks for sharing.

Mom was a different story.
