The heartache that our ancestors had to bear is hard for us to imagine today. That's one reason why we need to tell their stories - so others can begin to understand just how good we have it now. Thanks for writing this - very clear and easy to follow the different people!
Oh, how sad about the family after the death of the mother. Breaks my heart.
It is heartbreaking Lisa, but sadly events like these happened all too often in those days.
Sad that many family members died too young, as was common back in the day. Kudos for keeping their memories alive and telling their story. :)
It’s very sad seeing how young people died back then. Makes me realise how lucky we are today
