The Mutation

These photos are of MY actual foot.

Can you see it?

look a little closer...can you see it now?

There they are!

Yep they are really like that

My toes are as they look they are actually webbed. You may of heard of it, and if you haven't seen it here you go. The bones are bones of two different toes, but the skin holds them together. It has been called a birthmark and a genetic trait, but it actually a genetic mutation. I got these toes from my father who has them and his mother who has them and her father that had them. It is a linking of my family one person per generation has them and only the child that had them can pass them to their child. January 20, 2004 was the day my grandmother died that date doesn't remind me as much nor as closely as my toes do. It sounds stupid but it is a cool way to remember someone by sharing something as strange and rare as the mutation of webbed toes.

My grandmother that shares my toes passed away but here is her tomb stone
