Belated Fatherhood

Today, if you are interested in a major part of our family history, you can visit Julie's blog at this and here and
this and read Belated Fatherhood, Julie's posts for July 12th, 13th, and 14th. It tells how Julie met her father for the first time when she was 21 years old. It is mostly her story and his, written by a journalist friend of his two years later. It is partly my story. It was my doing that they hadn't met earlier, and it was my doing that it finally happened. (Well, I finally did what needed to be done, but it was all of our wanting that made it happen.) Sometimes we make really big mistakes. Sometimes we get a do-over. That is never like it hadn't happened, but it is at least some correction of error.
