Given the same middle name as her Grandmother Myrtle Pam embodies many of the same qualities that she had. Pam is a hard worker who did and continues to do everything she can to ensure her children don’t have to struggle. That effort has extended beyond her kids to include me. Pam is not only my Aunt she’s my friend. One of my fondest memories is of her paying me to babysit her teenage daughters when I would come back to NY for my summer breaks. Anyone that knows my cousins knows they didn’t need babysitting. Pam paid me because that was her way of being generous and kind without saying it lol. I will never forget all she’s done for me and I will forever be grateful for her.
When I was looking for a photo to accompany this Black History Month post in honor of my Aunt Pamela Christine Henderson it took forever. I ended up finding one from 14 years ago. Pam rarely smiles for photos and because of that the impression is made that she has a hardened personality. That couldn’t be further from the truth. My Aunt Pam has one of the most generous and kind personalities I’ve ever witnessed. Anyone that has ever been in her presence loves her. She’s that one person you try to get affirmation from because she doesn’t give it to everyone but when she does you feel like you’re the chosen one haha.
