"My mother had a stillborn. Before my youngest daughter was born and what cause that the doctor said was that she was out one day trying to scare the birds away from the crops, you know? Lettuce crops or something. She took a shotgun and fired to scare them, boom. That shock, that recoil, knocked her down, sat her on her back, you know, real bad. And that shock hurt the baby inside. It was stillborn."
