Today's mothers of young children don't know what it was like before we had mandatory vaccines. I was among the first to receive the polio vaccine that they actually gave to us at school. I myself had the measles, mumps and chicken pox before there were vaccines for them. It was NOT fun!

Sure do. It's the realization of our mortality creeping in.
