Last month we had our annual Parrish Family Reunion in Coats, North Carolina. As usual, we had a really great turnout and it was so wonderful to all be together once again. A really special moment was this picture…

This is my Great Aunt, Rebeth Ara Parrish Mitchell, holding her Great, Great Nephew, Dallin Porter Mason. They were the oldest and youngest at the reunion. Dallin was just eleven days new to this Earth while Aunt Re was eleven days shy of her 96th birthday. How cool is that?

Just after I took this picture, Aunt Re came over to me, put her arm around me and said, “When he gets bigger, you be sure and tell him about me.” I promised her I would.
