Yes, the virus is a reality and sweeping through our Metro, but that did not deter me from thinking of my late parents today. They were both born on 24 June... 16 years apart!
My mother was born in 1919. That year marked the end of WW 1 and the devastation of the Spanish Flu.
My father was born in 1903 some time after the Anglo Boer War. It must have been tough for their mothers to nurse winter babies in the freezing Karoo.
