I'm not sure what that has to do with the parent comment.



I on the other hand, don't understand why that first comment brought up children at all. Did Kevin have his first kid at 57?


The third sentence of the linked article tells us that his wife is pregnant.


Reading between the lines of the article he battled cancer for 14 months, but his wife is currently pregnant with their first kid. So they chose to have a kid knowing he was a 57 year old with an aggressive form of cancer.


Per other comments his cancer was in remission for a portion of that 14 months as well.


Yikes.
