Great Grandmother’s Day

We hosted Yinh’s family for a bbq pool party. Yinh’s mother is one of 12. Most of them live in the Bay Area so we had 40+ family members here yesterday. I was the tallest. By a lot. I am also the hairiest.

Yinh’s grandmother (mom’s side) also visited. This woman had 12 live births (no twins). She has been pregnant for much of her adult life. I seriously feel moved just being around her. She embodies peacefulness, a living treasure.

With such an unusually large family, you get some unusual, um, facts I guess. Here’s two:

The grand-matron has grandchildren older than her own children
Some of the grandchildren were nursed by their mother and their grandmother because they had babies near the same time.

With that, Happy Mother’s, Grandmothers, and Great-Grandmothers Day (I love you mom, thanks for maybe reading this)!
