Needless to say back then "Dads" did not get their kids. Another $10K down the drain.

THEN- I got a call from his Mother that her car had died and if I got her another car she would trade me.

Here's your car!

He is now 33 and the married father of an almost 1 yr. old daughter and a 3 year old spitting image of a son.

Hell yes!

Now (since 1995) I have a step son and daughter 38 and 40 and 4 lovely grandaughters from almost 1 to 14 years.
Great story! That's what I was getting at with this post. It's a lot to think about.
