Half Way Past 50

I am now reaching a point of being half way past 50 years old. I didn't think it would come this quickly. My youngest son is about to graduate and enter college soon. I am very happy that this apple fell a bit further from the tree than my other fruit. My oldest is way too much like myself. He's smart, obstinate, opinionated, easily provoked, hot-headed, passionate and he worries too much. All qualities I share and more. I think that is what worries me so much. Children are a dream come true and I love them both equally. At 50 I think I project a better fatherly image than I did at 30, 35, 40 and so on. But I'm still far from perfect and my hope is that both of them can see my faults for what they are and improve themselves from them instead of imitating them.
