IVF Specialist and Nobel Laureate Professor Robert J Edwards was married to Ruth Fowler Edwards, the granddaughter of physicist Ernest Rutherford and daughter of physicist Ralph Fowler. Her mother died in her twenties while giving birth to her. Her father had many Nobel Laureate students but did not get it as he also died early.

May be one day you would be thinking about
What would happen when you would be of your
Grandpa’s age,
That did never come in your mother’s life.
Your mother…
The fallen key of the given event?
You would be mourning…
Your mother’s early death left you
Numb and pale? And your father’s …
Probably left you unfulfilled in a practicable way.
Let them rest in peace among the serenity of ice crystals
Of the Antarctic island they own.

But you were sure you found one.
Though you could see how things go wrong more than right…
Or it was always OK with you.
With Nobel in hand and your daughters beside
You looked so confident,
You had known it before.
