Others from the past still lurk around the planet, waiting to strike places with poor or no public health systems. It can't happen here is wishful thinking. How many anti-vax deaths could have been prevented.

4. My wife & I like to walk through old graveyards & look at headstones.

It's amazing how many children we see in the 1800s & early 1900s.

The ones that hit me in the gut are couples buried beside each other with their children's small headstones, one aged 3 months, another 9 months, perhaps a third 1 year old. I imagine what their life must have been like, burying child after child, all so young.

We truly do not realize how good we have it today.

5. My grandmother survived all 6 of her children. 2 died when they were actual children

and the other 4 died as adults. She died in her 90's.

Who knows why things happen the way they do?

She also had all the kids before her 22 birthday.
