Oh my gosh. That Jemma woman is amazing. I have tears in my eyes from reading their story. Best of luck to her husband and may she rest in peace.

That story was heartbreaking. When I read about Jemma teaching the husband how to do plaits in the daughter’s hair that just really got to me.

I know that any age is a viable die-able age, but now there are 3 year old orphans. Women were not meant to have babies that old and taking advantage of what they can do with hormones and what not just seems like a bad idea to me. We as busy women with jobs and careers simply have to make time to have children if that’s what we find important. That story about Jemma is very sad, my friends mom died of Cervical cancer and its a scary thing.
