An incredibly heartwarming photo showing six generations of women from the same family has gone viral recently as it captured the attention of a large number of people.
At the top end of the age scale is 99-year-old MaeDell Taylor Hawkins who is holding her seven-month-old great-great-great-granddaughter Zhavia Whitaker in her arms while the rest of the women, including MaeDell’s daughter, Frances Snow, 77, granddaughter Gracie Snow Howell, great-granddaughter Jacqueline Ledford, 29, and great-great-granddaughter Jaisline Wilson, 19, are posing behind them. Today, MaeDell has more than 620 grandchildren from her own daughters and their children’s children.
“I know it’s rare for six generations … it’s even rarer for all of them to be the same gender,” MaeDell’s granddaughter Howell, 58, told Good Morning America. “We’re all girls — girl power, as well.”
When they snapped the photo and shared it on the social media, none of them knew it would attract that much attention.
“We just kind of planned a day, and we just all met and grandma knew we were coming,” Howell, who now lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, said.
MaeDell got married back in 1940 when she was just 16 years old. Her husband was 50-year-old rail worker Bill Taylor who at the time had 10 children and needed someone to take care of them while he was at work. MaeDell took the role of a mother and went on to have 13 children on her own.

The family lived a very simple life as they lacked electricity, running water, and a stove, among the rest.
Getting married young was normal back in the day. Speaking of it, Howell said, “Now we don’t. We have children later in our life, so families are not that big. Having six generations is very, very rare to start with.”
The Kentucky matriarch now boasts a whopping 623 descendants, according to a family chart shared by her daughter-in-law, Janice Taylor. They include 106 grandchildren, 222 great-grandchildren, 234 great-great-grandchildren and 37 great-great-great-grandchildren.
“If everything goes well, the baby’s doing well, Grandma’s doing well – we’re all going to meet back in June and get another picture,” the family shared.
Bus driver found dogs freezing in thunderstorm, breaks rules and puts them on bus
Many people are afraid of cold weather and what it brings, let alone animals. Some animals live a beautiful life. They have owners, a home, food and everything they need. On the other hand, there are those animals that suffer. They spend every day fighting for survival. In addition to being able to remain traumatized after terrible storms and thunderstorms, it can also physically affect them.
Fortunately for these dogs, the bus driver has a big heart. In Buenos Aires, this story happened. The bus driver, regardless of the rules that were set for him, opened the door and let the dogs inside. He did that so they would not freeze. He gave them something they never had, security and warmth.
This event, very touching for all of us, happened when the bus driver took pity on two wet dogs, which were shaking abnormally due to bad weather. Although he subconsciously had all the rules related to his job, including that the city does not allow dogs and other animals to be brought into their transports, the bus driver decided to take this step.
He consciously risked his job and everything he has, to help the dogs feel nice and happy at least for a moment. Man thinks in a way that it is worth losing a job for two living beings. It cannot be compared in any way.
As is obvious, the passengers noticed all this and recorded it on their mobile phones. Pictures and footage were quickly shared on social media, and other people were asked to find homes for these dogs, if they could. Many people witnessed the kindness and kindness of the man who drove the bus, so he has a clear conscience.
Due to the fact that the pictures and footage were shared incredibly fast, so did the gentlemen of this gentleman. A statement from the city confirming that they do not want animals in public transport has been confirmed. But this time they made an exception and did not punish the man for his kindness.
A work not seen every day. Given that you, too, have now witnessed this amazing endeavor of bus drivers, we would be glad if you would send this to all dog lovers you know.
