I cry as we bury the little tiny body of baby Heidi. Mother knew it was coming. The whole town knew. But poor Heidi. What was coming? You might ask. Well it was the one and only, Yellow Fever.
Mother cried for days. Father didn't talk, eat or work for a week. My family was a wreck. Within three days almost half of the town was dead. Yellow fever was swiping away the whole population. People are leaving their home looking for clean air. Leaving precious things behind. Their kids, animals, parents, some even leaving their clothes. Everything, is being blamed on my family. Heidi was only 3 years old. She couldn't help it.
