Faron Cox Jr., 7, and Skylor Cox, 3, play on rope swings outside of their home. "When I first had my first three kids, back in the 70s, I thought that was it," Faron Cox Sr. said. "I wasn't thinking about having another wife or more kids and then more kids. It never entered my mind."

Leaning by what he refers to as his "thinking window," Faron Sr. looks at his two young boys as they watch television. "It scares me thinking at my age you don't know how much longer you got left," he said. "I'm just hoping I live long enough to see the little things get on their feet. You often wonder what your kids are going to do or how they're going to react when you're gone."
