My DH is going to be 56 this coming July! He was as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof when he was about to turn 49. His dad passed away at the age of 49 a couple of days before Christmas about 30 years ago. His father was a man with a very bad attitude on everything life. He blamed everyone and everything for his "misfortunes". DH almost was not my DH. A boat launch he was on went down in the Gulf of Mexico. God had plans for him and changed his own attitude to enjoy everyday he was given. When I reminded him of that he became a man with a younger attitude toward living. Just tell your dad "60" is the new 40-50.
