two hundred and fifty five




This is my Grandma. Her name is Bessie Call. She is probably the most amazing woman I have ever met. She is 94 years old and still very healthy. She has 14 children and my mother was number 13! I'm sure glad she didn't stop at 9 or 10. Last night she was holding Max and so I took this picture. Max is her 255th great-grandchild! What would it be like to have 255 great-grandchildren? I feel lucky that we have been able to live next door to her and that Max has been able to spend time with her.

I love you Grandma!!!
