My Family History, illuminated
Fantastic graphics and illustrations, but what a sad story it tells.
I remember reading this 15 or so years ago when my kids were young and crying because I couldn’t comprehend how hard this was. Tributes like this make the people come alive.
So sad
Thank you for sharing! I really liked the way you presented the information. The birth announcement and height chart pulled me into the story–and I could really sense the mother’s love for her child. And, the ending was so sad.
Oh my, such a tragic story. How difficult this must have been for the parents.
