Very true -- even my understanding grows, however slowly,
as I learn.

Not to speak for your father, whom I know nothing of,
but most of us find eventually that keeping up just takes more
effort that we're willing to make any longer. We go on moving
forward, or upward, or whatever -- but more and more slowly, and
of course the whippersnappers outrun us ever the longer the more.
