News at Eleven: My husband is a beat poet,

a professional fundraiser, and a proud father. He also happens to be 35 years older than me and 60 years older than our son. Somewhat ironically, his first name is Young.

If you had asked me five years ago who I imagined marrying and starting a family with, a man old enough to be my father would not have been top of the list. If a friend had confided that she – or he – was considering a relationship with such a significant age difference, I would have done my gentle best to discourage them. But here we are, coming up to our fourth wedding anniversary and still recovering from our son's second birthday party.

from The Guardian: He's not my father, he's my husband
