My grandfather was born in 1896 on this day. According to my mom, he was an older dad before older dads were a thing, and when they were kids she and her sister felt a little self-conscious about their old dad.
All I know is that at 66 years older than I, he always seemed a little ancient to me. Over the years, I've seen pictures of the boy he once was, and it used to be hard to square that kid with the Granddaddy I knew.
But now, after seeing thousands of kids grow up and growing older myself? Not so much anymore.
Happy Birthday, Granddaddy!
