Henderson-McWhorter Family Reunion

A typical southern family reunion! Hosted at a small country church that can't be found on Google Maps (though the cemetery for the church is on there!) we met many people we have never seen before. The start of this family tree were my great grandparents. My grandfather (Earl Henderson) was one of 5 children. There were 15 total children from those 5. One was my dad - the only child of Earl and Frances Henderson. Of my dad's 14 cousins, 9 are still living and most were there with their children and grandchildren. I knew 2 of my dad's cousins but was pleased to connect with a little of my heritage. Despite the fact it was >100 degrees outside and you may never keep in touch with these folks, there is something special about thinking you have a family connection to these folks. Some stories are probably better left untold, but the ones that were fun to eavesdrop on were how proud people were of their children and grandchildren. Fun to see my dad especially show off this grandchildren primarily. It also gave me pride to introduce my family and say, "Yes, I belong to Bill." Thanks for keeping us connected dad!
