This isnt really a post about Genealogy, but Im sure it will bend that way as it is undated history. One of my relatives who I loved very much and enjoyed her time while she was on this Earth.. I wish I had got a chance to talk to her the way that I talk to adults now. I was just a child when she passed away. She taught me so much in the 12 years that I knew her, but so many unanswered questions now that she is gone. There really is no one who can answer them.. and the one that is so private to most women of her time era, were her pregnancies..
Women just didnt talk about things like we do today, how its going, how does it feel, etc. Or if there was trouble, did you have a miscarriage, did it hurt, etc. I have been looking at photos of this woman, and in various photos over a 15 year time span, in the early 20's to mid 30's, she looked pregnant, using her hands to cover her obvious growing belly, but then, in later photos, there is no child, and then a massive gap between her 2nd and 3rd children.... almost 11 years. In those years, I see the baby bumps, but no one can tell me that part of the story. Just something that I've pondered and talked over with my own Mom, who doesnt have answers to these questions either. We will never know, and always wonder...
