23 of what you ask? Well let me just walk you through this miracle of life.
Imagine giving birth to nine babies (7 girls, 2 boys) and living long enough to watch them grow and together have 19 of their own children.…and it doesn’t end there. Then imagine being 85 years old, full of energy and spunk, and being a proud grandmother to 22 GREAT-grandchildren. That my friends is a miracle, and I’m proud to call her my Meme . We also like to call her “Queen Bee” of the family.
What Mason is about to embark on is something many families can’t even imagine, and at his first family event, he’ll realize why his mother is so loud. He will also be lucky great-grandchild number 23.
What really blows my mind about our family is that the majority of us (besides my cousin’s serving in the military) all live within 20-30 miles of each other. We’re all a YELL away..haha. I’m excited for Mason to take part in our family adventures and the many “cousin nights” that we plan. As lucky grandchild #12 myself, I cannot imagine a life without my crazy (in the best way possible) family, and most of my cousins are some of my best friends. I hope that Mason will share this same bond with his own cousins.
We celebrated Meme’s 85th birthday last week and she said something that couldn’t be any truer. She said that people thought she was the crazy one for having all these children, but now – she’s really the LUCKY one. Now that is what I call the “miracle of life.”
Feeling Lucky,
mama j
