My wife (now just 4 weeks from 84) was the third youngest of 10 children...

Her father came from a 10-children family and her mother came from an 8-children family... Both lived to 99...
Both were wonderful human beings...

in my husbands family, back in North Dakota, the men would marry and have 11 kids, the wife would die from it all, and he would remarry and have another 10 kids....good ol German stock.....

I wish we'd have more big families..

And a neighbor of mine is the youngest of 18 children, his dad being from China, while his Costa Rican mom was one of 24, most all lived to their 90s. God is gracious.
