My dad was 37 when I came around and, while he hasn't lived to see me turn 40 yet, he has delivered on 100% of his fatherly duties. If he dies tomorrow, I certainly won't consider myself to have been deprived of anything. It's unfortunate you feel you were robbed by your dad's early death, but to imply that 36 is too old is a bit rigid.
