Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.

I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial him first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.

    It was June 15, and in two days I would be turning thirty. I was insecure about
entering a new decade of my life and feared that my best years were now behind me.
    My daily routine included going to the gym for a workout before going to work. Every
morning I would see my friend Nicholas at the gym. He was seventy-nine years old and in
terrific shape. As I greeted Nicholas on this particular day, he noticed I wasn't full
of my usual vitality and asked if there was anything wrong. I told him I was feeling
anxious about turning thirty. I wondered how I would look back on my life once I reached
Nicholas's age, so I asked him, "What was the best time of your life?"
   Without hesitation, Nicholas replied, Well, Joe, this is my philosophical answer to
your philosophical question:
    "When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me and I was
nurtured by my parents, that was the best time of my life."
    "When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best
time of my life."
    "When I got my first job and had responsibilities and got paid for my efforts, which
was the best time of my life."
    "When I met my wife and fell in love, which was the best time of my life."
    "The Second World War came, and my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives.
When we were together and safe on a ship bound for North America, which was the best time
of my life."
    "When we came to Canada and started a family, which was the best time of my life."
    "When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of
my life."
    "And now, Joe, I am seventy-nine years old. I have my health, I feel good and I am
in love with my wife just as I was when we first met. This is the best time of my life."
