The End Of The Line.
I have often wondered about my purpose here on earth; for I do believe that we are all placed here with a purpose.
I have done ok for myself and there is nothing that I need to be ashamed of in my past; yet I have achieved nothing. I have not written a song, have not published a book and have not planted a proper tree. I have not fathered a son. I have done nothing.
The day I lay my head down my name dies with me; and so does the name of my father. Of the three sons my father sired, I’m the only one still alive and none of us produced a son to carry his name forward. His branch of the bloodline ends with me.
I fathered two daughters, my next brother one and my youngest brother had no children. We were very poor in children. I wonder if it bothers him. After my last brother died in 2000, he asked me if I planned to have more children.
I think he was still hoping for a grandson then.
Sometimes you disappoint people without intending to do so.

@Cat- for the quick hijack.
I was not referring to Red's comment. Was referring to your previous comment, But I'm sure Red will tell you in due course.
hi Z,
anyway got to go. Sorting out a desktop for collection and it now decides not to work.
Have a wonderful day all.
Don't worry, the shark informed of the raise in price by email. I have a problem now. I will have to buy a new Monopoly game. I'm running out of currency.
Got to go too now have good rest of afternoon. I am going to bake more bread, as the man said try, try and try again.
Bog, 200k per post
but it has full warranty. and it makes you younger.
I do have a wonderful son who means everything to me and who makes his father really proud and happy. Seeing that very strong bond between my ex-husband and son makes me so happy and proud too.
Everyone one of us wants and needs somethings but sometimes they're just not for us, so we just have to live and be happy with what we have.
I always read good blogs here from you and others, thanks again for sharing those good thoughts and great lessons in life.
Wish you all the best.
Cannot print my own. Boggie insist on genuine monopoly money
50 k for you, and ~you will receive the Imperial Order of Saint Eugene of Trebizond. printed.
I am often told by friends and family that I am "very lovable".
"Really," I say and I think, Funny, that's not my experience of me. I shrug internally and think The people who love me must not know me very well. The part of me I show to everyone else, I concede, is lovable. But then I've been working all my life at not sharing with others the aspects of my self I don't esteem.
I write. That is what I will leave behind. That is my legacy. Highly recommended. You are an articulate man. Perhaps you should consider it. Your daughters will surely live in tribute to you as I do for my family. The name may disappear, but the genes persist.
Bitcoins are a bit dice at the moment. Dump the lot on baggie if you can.
Hmm, Don't get me wrong. I wont swap any of my daughter for a son. I just would have liked to have a son as well.
Ja, ja, ok. Send me six
ok that's the best I could do
Most of my family of six didn't get married or have children...I think my dad is okay with that! But when we get older we tend to think alot about passing on our name...the bloodline. I have only one nephew that will pass on our family name but it is unlikely that he will have children...it will be up to my Dad's brother...his family. I guess I have never thought about it because women didn't keep their name once married...
Perhaps writing about your life would be a good idea, as a way of preserving your name and celebrating your memories!! Cheers!
This is getting all too complicated now. I did not get it all. Can you repeat it please.
It just came on a few minutes ago.
Then rock the cradle buddy; I'll rock 'n roll.
Dads are special; aren't they?
Hmm, you may just have a point there.
But I think I'll take my chances being a male. Much more fun.
My uncles and aunts all had big families and the have plenty of grandchildren. We truly have a big family. It was just my father who produced a lot blank shooting sons.
It is not such a big issue with me. I was just thinking about my old man. I know he would have loved to has a grandson bearing his name very dearly.
As I say in my profile:
I know I cannot always have what I want, but that does not make me want it less.
Yes, I know I will not have a son but I still would have liked to have one.
