This is beautiful. I can't wait to read more.

Can you clarify the timeline? You wrote "She was four months pregnant" but then wrote "They got married on January 31, 1951, in the front room of Jimmie’s family home and, seven months later, on July 31, became parents".

Was she two months pregnant when they got the marriage license?
