Half of her children died before her. Half of my father's siblings died in infancy. It was just a fact of life that you'd probably bury many of your children. How sad.

Perhaps it is just as well that families were much larger than I am comfortable with now. They may have needed that number to virtually ensure that the line went on.<br />My parents ashes are spread in the rose garden at the local crematorium. My father was an intensely practical man and it would have been what he wanted. My mother joined him again some years later.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
