The Fawcett/Higginson/Gunn/Kidd's: One Family, Many Names

We're a family with many names. We didn't start out that way. Thirty years ago my plan was that we would all be "The Higginson's" but life doesn't always follow our plan and about 12 years ago we turned into a family with many last names. I became single (another story for another day if anyone cares) and my oldest son Tom, decided that if I could take back my family name, he could change his name all together and so he did and became Tom Gunn. John and Abby stayed Higginson until Abby married Jeremy Kidd about 5 years ago and became Abby Kidd. John's still Higginson and he's bringing honor to that name with his life. Nevertheless, even with many last names, we're all one happy, united family.
