Sad

You know what breaks my heart?

Doing family history stuff, entering in families from the 1600s or 1700s or 1800s, and one particular family had two stillborn children, one child die around the age of two months, and another die before her second birthday. That's four children. So sad.

So many families, almost all of them I would say, had children die at such a young age. I guess this isn't really a new revelation, I know that's just what happened back then. But I think it is a little bit sadder when you see the child's name, and their birthday and death day, and know their parent's names. It makes it feel a lot more real than just knowing a lot of children died long ago.

I hope I never have to go through that.
