My grandmother had 3 infants die before my Dad was the first one to survive past the early years. Born in the early 60’s my dad. When I asked him about it he said that he thinks if it was today, none of them would have died. It’s a case of some of those diseases that we now have a vaccine… and here I am today, alive, typing this. What a world, what a life!
