If I'm half as good a dad to my two kids as my dad has been to me and my brother and sister, my kids will be lucky.

There was a great strain in our family because my father didn't want anything to do with me. He was happy to see my brother and sister, but not me. I don't know why. Maybe it was shame. I don't know.

My brother and sister are both older than I am and were born before my father went off to World War I.
Only in 2016 can a brother and sister have problems over the same man.
