The Paul I came to know was more like a "partner-in-crime.”
While my mental age was superior, Paul's physical age was superior.
Even if you accounted for all the knowledge of my previous life, because I was a shut-in for at least ten years of that life, Paul probably had the upper hand in life experience.
But that doesn't matter.
Age doesn't matter.
When I talked with Paul, I got the strong feeling he and I were the same type of man.
I was never able to see him as a "father.”
