Father's Day

[Retired Engineer Bob]

2. You are very welcome Blue Dawn

Indeed, I am very fortunate.

One story I wanted to add is my weekend visits with the folks soon after I got my first “real” engineering job. We would sit around the kitchen table and have a few beers on Friday evenings. Mom was in the habit of asking when I would find a nice girl to marry. One night dad stated “just leave him alone”. My husband and I met in 1996, were married in 2014. I was very fortunate that both mom and dad were very supportive.

I feel deeply for folks who did not have the advantage of loving and supportive parenting. I currently abhor commitments, but am wondering if there is something I can do in retirement to help kids reach their potential.
