Dear Louie~
I am so happy you wrote back; I was wondering about you...but your letters are NEVER "short", my dear! They are more like NOVELS! LOL
I loved the picture of the Nashville, Tennessee skyline at night; that was so pretty! It made me miss you guys! I am feeling pretty good; still have my bad days when it comes to accepting my lot in life...I am still having a rough time adapting to my disability, and I have been a bear at times; poor Michael has to put up with the brunt of my constant WHINING! LOL I feel so bad for him at times; he has to do so much for me, and I get so frustrated at times! So be praying for me, okay?? Thanks!
I am glad your kids are well, but I was sorry to hear that Barbara was sick with a sinus infection. I hope she is feeling better by the time you receive this in your email; cripes, a bloody nose on top of a sinus infection?? NOT good! That sounds nasty!
Have you heard from your friend, M'Buti? You know, the Maasai lady you told me about in a previous letter? Has she had her baby yet? Last time I heard about her, she was in bed, and she was homebound, and she couldn't do a lot. I hope she has had her baby by now! If she DID have the baby, what did she have, and did she give it one of those weird African names that I can't fingerspell?? LOL She wrote to me once, and I wrote to her, and she has never written back. Oh, well...I guess she doesn't want to be bothered with the likes of me; I have not been a nice person since my accident...only you have stuck by me (okay, you and MICHAEL!), and I feel as though you are the only friend I have!
Sikik has called me on her phone; she sure has had a rough time of it lately, hasn't she? I feel so bad for her; I have been praying for her practically none-stop! I have not only been praying to our god; I have also been praying to your Jesus, and that is something I still have trouble accepting. I mean, how can a guy just DIE for your mistakes, and why would a man put his very life on the line for a person? That is true love; but I still have trouble understanding the concept of "salvation". You will have to tell me more about it in a future letter (in SIMPLIFIED words; I don't have much air upstairs, you know! Think all this cold Alaska stuff has frozen my brain PERMANENTLY! LOL)!
Has your Ronee' gone to Hollywood and tape her show yet? I heard from reliable sources that "America's Most Talented Kids" has been picked up for more shows; so I guess that means that Ronee' is going to tape it. I hope she does well! Personally, I haven't been impressed with the talent they have had on there, but maybe it's because it isn't your daughter! LOL I bet she will wipe out the competition; it's just too darn bad I can't hear her voice! I bet she sings like an ANGEL! Tell her that if she HASN'T gone to Hollywood that I wish her the best of luck, and so does Michael! Tell her we will be praying for her that she does well on "America's Most Talented Kids"! :)
I also will be praying for you, on account that your bloodwork goes well. Nothing worse than finding out your blood is no good or that you have a sneaky little virus or something in it; I HATE delays! I haven't had any problems since my surgery last summer, and I am soooo glad to be rid of that stupid pinched nerve! That was the absolute WORST! GRR!
Well, dearie, I will go now; Michael is signalling to me that he wants to use the computer, so I guess that means I have to get off. DARN! I was just starting to enjoy responding to your email; seems that this always happens! Drives me inSANE! GRRRR!! (*Jenna says, growling like a baby nanuq--that is, if she COULD growl! LOL*) Until later, you take care, and if I don't hear from you before your upcoming back surgery, I wish you nothing but the best, and I hope you get off those darn old Lofstrand crutches! I HATE those things! GRRRR!! *More growling here* LOL
Love and miss you like CRAZY! Write back as soon as you can!
(((HUGS))) and much love,
Yours until the Northern Lights light up the Arctic Sky,
