My grandparents already had 5 children in 1948. My grandmother was expecting what they thought was twins because she got so big. They were in for a really big surprise when there were three babies instead of two. They were the only tripletts to ever survive in the area in which we live and were a local sensation. My grandmother was even going to take in another set of tripletts born later because their mother was not taking proper care of them, but, they died before she could get them. She took in and raised several other children over the course of the years and then later ran a rest home for elderly ladies out of her own home. I guess some people just like to take care of others and have a lot of love to share.

Sounds like my mother. She always had some extras around. She went back to school after we were all born, and the older ones could sit for the younger ones, and got her nursing degree. Bless her heart, to this day she is still working at a nursing home, (older than some of the patients) and she goes on medical missions with her church twice a year. She is a natural born caregiver!
