Becoming a father in one's late 40s offers a blend of challenges and advantages. Although older parents may have less physical energy, they cherish moments of reliving childhood with their kids. Older parents also provide wisdom and life lessons rooted in their own experiences. The author reflects on the ephemeral nature of time with their children, acknowledging they'll spend fewer years together than younger fathers but are determined to create lasting memories. The experience is highlighted as rewarding, allowing for both education and nostalgia, with no regrets about this pivotal life decision.
I get to educate my kids on the old television shows I used to love, the children's books I read over and over, and I share life lessons with them that took me decades to learn.
Those who are 50 and older realize things change when you get to this age. You can literally go to sleep at night completely healthy and then wake up in the morning with some sort of injury. It's all very strange.
