A visit from the Greats...


Great Uncle Lewis with his Great Niece Cora, Great Aunt Marion with her Great Nephew Isaiah, and Great Uncle Jay with his Great Nephew Elijah.

What a remarkable heritage and legacy our family has. My mothers 2 brothers and 1 sister came to visit Mom for a very short weekend to visit her in her long recovery. They showed so much love by making sure we had some special one-on-one time. Aunt Marion flew in from Los Alamos, Uncle Lewis drove down from OKC, and Uncle Jay drove up from San Antonio. They made a special endeavor to spend some time with their great niece and great nephews - of course Jason and I enjoyed their companionship as well. 

Family is undoubtedly a magnificent gift. Through heartache and joy we grow in the midst of the familial adventure. It is through love and quiet forgiveness we achieve enormous wisdom and see the value of these souls. A legacy of so many generations tying us forever as a line of Royal Worth... Being enlightened of the tie we share is an awakening that I want to bestow to the generations to come; to love your heritage, to honor it with a respect unspoken. For me, I want my own children to know and admire these great men and women that came before us and learn to also honor such a wonderful legacy.

WE LOVE YOU!
