    My grandfather is 91, and we were talking about his family when he was a kid. This picture is how many siblings he had.
    His father would come home every ten months and then leave a few days later.

    This picture is not a healthy family.

        He did have at least one other family, yep. Good call. They even tried to connect years ago, but it didn’t work out.

        Thankfully my grandfather and his brothers and sisters came out as good people. Most of them are still alive too.

      It’s the turning point of modern medicine keeping too many backup kids alive.
