My great uncle found out he was a father and grandfather at 75!
During WW2 he was stationed in England and had a girlfriend.
When the war was over, he wanted to return to Canada: his girlfriend chose not too.
She was pregnant and never told him.
She quickly married a man from down the street, gave birth and had a good life.
The daughter never discovered the truth until rummaging through her mother's old photos; she came across a man in uniform that looked a lot like her.
She tracked my great uncle down through the veteran's organization in Canada.
Returning to Canada my great uncle married a woman with 2 children, who had lost her husband.
He never had children with her.
I've never seen a person so proud as my uncle: knowing he had a child and granchildren.
Good for him!!
It answered a few question for his grandson as well.
His grandson is colour blind and couldn't figure out where it came from.
My great uncle was colour blind as well!!
