Well...Dad's birthday was the 12th, so that's got both "loss of parents" and a sense of my own mortality fresh in my mind. Also, I broke up with my ex about ten years ago after being married for 23 years, so the "absent parent" issue is very present there too. Even if I'd known the marriage was going to end, I don't think I'd have elected to not have the kids.

Divorce is not exactly what I am talking about... a divorced father gets to see their kids and be in their life as much as they want within the law and as long as their spouse is a decent person.
