In today’s Guardian, this item, part of a very funny series about the writer’s experience with online dating, made me smile:

[“Miles thought I was being overcautious. Caution will gain us nothing, at this stage of our lives, he said. As he’s 59, about to be 60, this was perhaps a little over-inclusive.”]
Being a dad and grandad, and being the eve of Father’s Day, this item made me cry:
A letter to … My dad, who didn’t live to see my sons
[“I yearn for my boys to have known you and to have kicked a ball with you, or to have seen what an amazing golfer you were. I love to have seen them sitting on your lap, laughing with you, being tickled by you, cuddling you, hearing them say the word grandad.”]
