i didnt rly think about those babies for 30 yrs. then someone poked me.
told me she had 1 born son, and 1 not born. brought it back in a flood.

lost my dad 5 decades ago at 63. cancer. but he had the same autoimmune disease as me.
his memory always makes me smile, tho. and i inherited his gift of telling stories and jokes, so i pass that on allllll the time.

mom made it almost to 90. died of stroke. spent her last yrs in a nursing home, too. something she never, ever wanted.
she had a good life. had a job she loved, and never had to bury a child.
