She used to get all upset that we would know about such things and then we were forced to listen AGAIN to her theory on these pregnancies. She was a prude but a wise woman, "No pregnancy is an accident because ONLY GOD can create that child and He does no accidental thing. EVER. The child could very well be a blessing as the boy and girl might have walked away from each other when GOD wants them together for life. Just maybe it is His nudge. He says children are a blessing so figure out the blessing and not the burden in this life." She always jumped in and threw wedding showers for the couples and newborn gifts and stayed in their lives until she was sure that child knew their parents saw them as a blessing and not a burden. But, oh boy oh boy, did she get upset when we would sing it upon the news. . .
