Gramps

Today services are being held for Mark's father, Richard Worden.  Sadly he passed last Thursday.  We were all shocked with his terminal cancer diagnosis just before Christmas.  We had just flown out to Phoenix to spend Thanksgiving with them and had a wonderful visit.  It wasn't something that was in our "normal" holiday routine to fly out to Arizona for Thanksgiving with 2 children under 4.  Normally we spend Thanksgiving here in Houston.  It's much easier than travelling.  We are so happy we broke out of our normal routine.  Those days we spent out there with Gramps will always be in our hearts.  Here's a little pictorial tribute to Richard Allan Worden.  He was so great to my children and loved them dearly.  He will be missed by many.


I took these photos last May when he and his wife Linda (aka Grams) came out to visit us here.  It really stinks to have grandparents in 3 different states and on 2 different coasts.  The kids just don't get to see any of them enough.  We will miss you Gramps.
