Belated Father's Day

Okay, so I am very late on wishing my Daddy Happy Father's Day. But late is better than never, right? Dad said the other day (after spending some time with the youngest three grandchildren) "How did we manage to raise seven children and run a farm ?" My reply to that was I didn't know. Thinking back perhaps there is a correlation between a man with seven children, and a man who has had, blood clots, seizures, cancer, heart problems, and a stroke? I suppose the question is do seven children wear a man down to that point or if you can raise seven children anything else is easy to conquer? So Dad are we to be blamed or thanked?
