PS you just never know these days what people may take a offense to. I'm not super P.C. but I do try to word things well especially in text. It's much easier to communicate certain things verbally. Voice inflection and facial expressions make up such a huge part of communication.
I am a 77 model, so I notice we are about the same age. I too have to try harder to be more thoughtful in my word choice - text and face to face. My father was a coach who acted like a drill sergeant.....so I wasn’t well trained on feelings unfortunately. Now I have all daughters so they have been working on me for a couple decades which has helped
Glad to hear you are doing well now and clearly a fine fellow Sounds like 3 kids lucky to have a good Dad.
