I think unless you have walked a mile in their shoes don’t judge. I find that older fathers are so much more involved in their child’s life and more appreciative of life. Each is different and as long as they are good parents who is to say. D.L. is having the time of his life and now values life. Many other parents will tell you the same. Good for them.! so your parent is old and don’t enjoy you. SAD

I think it’s great David has a son that can carry on his name. Whether he’s younger or older, he has the right to experience fatherhood at any age. At least he has a child with a woman he apparently loves and wants to have a child with. To me being a parent isn’t about if you can run and play ball with a kid. It’s how much you love that child and that the child knows that you love him. And if you happen to die before the child gets too old, then I would hope that child would know just how much his parent loved him. And to know that you did your best while you were alive should make everyone happy. No one can choose their parents but if some could I bet they’d choose and older David Letterman as opposed to say someone with a young abusive father.

I can’t believe all the snarks.

Letterman looks like an awesome dad. He really adores that kid. If only half the moms posted on this site were half as ecstatic about their own babies. ;)

Good lord, why would someone who is happy for Dave have to only be his PR person?

I also love Dave and I am glad he is enjoying Fatherhood too, does that make me his PR person also?

I would rather see an older man be a father than some teenager who could care less about the responsibilities of being a good parent. A teenager may have a longer lifespan, but that doesn’t mean he would stick around to raise his children; in fact, most of them don’t play much a role in their children’s lives.

At least Dave is doing his job as a parent and enjoying the time he has with his child. God bless him for that

Clarification: my son is 9, but was 2 when his Daddy died almost 7 years ago.

p.r. person–I’d love to be somebody’s p.r. person. I care about people, including those who think differently. I am just a young widdowed mother who has a diverse background experience in life. I know what is like to grow up concerned about my parents and I know what is like to watch my 2 year old son beat himself up because he doesn’t even remember his Daddy. Thank you for the comment about passion (although I realize that it could have been sarcastically stated). Life is something to be passionate about! Congratulations to Mr. Letterman and anyone else who strives to live their life that way! Harry has a great example in his older, but mature and financially stable father.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
1. Every one of us has something about our childhood’s or our parent’s that we would like to change.
2. Everybody’s childhood is different because we are different people. Some may be more or less affected by the age, whether it be too young or too old, of our parents. Some may be more affected by the economics or religious affiliation (or lack of it) in our parents lives.
3. At some point, we need to look at where we are and make a choice—AND THAT CHOICE IS DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH WHAT WE HAVE
4. David Letterman is making that choice and to ridicule his decision to be a loving father to his son is not appropriate and that is a heartless thing to do. We are not God and do not need to determine when men should stop having children.
5. Due to technological advances, women can have children at later ages as well so the first comment about penopause was somewhat ludicrous.

For anyone truly interested in David Letterman and his particular pair of shoes:
