Never even conceived of that question in my mind, as sadly, the answer is an unalterable No.

I was lucky enough to find a wife with a son from her late husband, so I didn't have to take the chance of creating someone like the people I come from, which I simply would not have done.

I'm on grand children now, and I make CERTAIN they won't have the same childhood I had... By telling them I love them all the time, and making sure they know it.

That said I DO hope they have the freedom and adventure I and most of my contemporaries had.
