I am so glad that my uncle was raised that way.

His mom was diabetic. She was told that if she gets pregnant, she will most likely die. She really wanted a kid. When she got pregnant, she was told that if she has the kid (does not terminate the pregnancy), she will die. . . She died in childbirth, as expected. . . When he was in first grade, he got a step-mom who helped raise him.

Nicest guy ever. His favorite thing to do was to get babies to stop crying and either go to sleep or coo at him (he was a pediatrician). I miss him. (1937-2021)
