Forsyth Reunion

My mom falls at number 7 of 12 kids. I have well over 50 first cousins just from her family. She was raised in Arkansas until she moved out west with her mom, 4 sisters, and one little brother. As the years have passed everyone has moved around and found their lives in different places. From Idaho, Colorado, Missouri, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, California...the list can go on. Getting together in one place is a VERY rare occasion. That's why we were so anticipating our Forsyth reunion at the beginning of the month. Unfortunately, not all of the uncles were able to come, but it was great to see those that were. Some cousins I hadn't seen in about 10 years. It was wonderful to catch up and see how everyone's grown. I was grateful that Joseph was able to interact with my family and get to know them. They sure loved him and his unique and funny ways. I got many compliments about my "pickins". It makes me wonder why we wait so long to get together.

The Forsyth's are loud, strong minded, southern to the roots. They are hilarious and will make sure there is never a dull moment while in their presence. Yet they are kind, loving people, with huge hearts who love the Lord in their own way. Those southern accents just melt your heart. I'm glad to say I'm apart of their family and I am truely grateful for the sacrifices they made to come out here and visit.
