My mother told me the whole story when I was 17.

Was your father glad you found him?
My father was shocked; I wrote him a letter and sent it registered. All I wanted was for him to know I existed. After that, it wasn't necessary to keep in touch.

I am to the point that I know some form of cancer will kill me or I will keel over dead at old age.

Logically we know we will die of old age, but every time I have a pain, I wonder if it is because of some disease I don't know about.
