Prestigious_Gap7398 on December 24, 2025 7:34 pm I bet it killed him because the ear infection spread to the brain.
Real-Advantage-328 on December 24, 2025 7:42 pm Tragically that was quite common before antibiotics. Just a few generations ago those few lucky ones who hadn’t lost children themselves would have had close friends who had lost children. Vaccines and antibiotics have luckily made that a thing of the past. I prey that the stay that way.
