Some people, and especially men really shouldn't marry until they are old enough to feel their bones aching and get sick of throwing up in the mornings. Women can't wait too long, or it could be come too late to be a first time Mommy. Of course not everyone wants that but I knew from the time I was 10 and really fell in love with my baby doll that I wanted babies.

This is sad. I'm can't understand how some families get hit so hard with tragedy. Having had pneumonia twice and beating it, I'm thankful for modern science or I probably would not have survived the first bout. I keep holding out fir the silver lining!

I didn't see these turn of events coming. How sad that he passed in his fifties from pneumonia. I have had pneumonia four times in my life, and I was hospitalized once because of it being so severe. Thank goodness for modern medicine. I look forward to seeing if Hursel comes to his senses.

You are a gifted storyteller. Illness seemed to take families out regularly before we had regular access to Doctors. My mother had a brother who fell out of a tree. Instead of taking him to the doctor, they simply let him rest. And he died the next day of a concussion. Life has always been precious.

Re: Good Evening

Well.......since I was their third baby, and I was born and raised in Missouri, you can kind of guess that they got back together.  LOL

Ben was a wise man. I hope he was right about Hursel coming to his senses. Love this story.
