How sad, and how real you make it for us, even if it happened years ago. The good old days...which were not so good after all.

Bad times to be ill Pat my dad had pneumonia when we were small and they prayed for him in the Church. He did recover but had it twice more. I think something call M and B tablets came out in later years. I suppose we as kids built up a fair bit on immunity rolling around in the grass and dirt. Not a lot of it in today's children I would imagine.
