Beth Berry became a mother for the first time at 17, but it wasn’t until she got married that she fully understood the injustices around motherhood—and why community makes all the difference.
I have 6 sons and 27 grandchildren.
I live on acreage right next to my one son, who has 8 children; 7 years to 19 years of age.
My daughter-in-luv tells me all the time that she couldn't be the mother of 8 w/o me next door.
I believe she could, but it is wonderful because they come over daily for this, that or the other.
I am able to remove stains, bandage wounds, look at wounds to determine their seriousness, etc.
I love being able to use those things that became second nature after raising all my sons.
I see my other grandchildren too, although a few live far away...with Facetime we are all blessed nowadays.
