H2O Man

26. His oldest daughter

certainly agrees with you! She recently bought my parents' house, and I've shown her some places where my brothers & I used to cultivate as teens. Thus, my brother goes full circle!

His youngest daughter was born kind of when his issues were becoming pronounced. So she really only had limited contact with him. She is estranged from her mother, which is good. Lately I've been telling her stories about her dad earlier in his life. There are so many good ones, that it is taking some time.
