"It hasn't always been easy, but without a doubt it was worth it. You have been, without a doubt, the best coach I could have ever had in my career and in my life.” 🥹

Those of us who are seniors can well remember having a family member, or a neighbor, or going to school with children who'd been disabled by polio. Some died, but more often, they would be left disabled to varying degrees. The vaccine wasn't introduced until 1955.
Important lessons from old books: "Victorian novels chronicle the terrible grief of losing children. Depicting the cruelty of diseases largely unfamiliar today, they also warn against being lulled into thinking that child deaths can never be inevitable again." theconversation.com/infectious-d...

Between 40% and 50% of children didn’t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.
