Dear Louie~
Thank you so much for your delightful letter; it is most satisfying to hear from you! Your letter was full of helpful advice, and your letter exuded warmth, compassion, and love!
I loved the picture of the mommy and her kids; that was cute! I hope to see a picture of your kids up soon; that would be nice to see! You have such a beautiful "Rainbow Family", and it is obvious just how much loved (and well cared for) the children are! I love watching your kids (and yourself) during the praise and worship portion of the church services; and your entire family is talented at singing and playing music! I wish I had the nerve to get on the platform as you do; but my shyness is all but crippling, and whenever I am in strange or unfamiliar situations or around people I don't really know, I panic!
My name is DEIDRE; you were right. Most people mispell my name; they think it is "D-E-I-R-D-R-E", but it is in actuality, "D-E-I-D-R-E". I have had more problems in telling people that my name isn't spelled as they may think, but my mom wanted my name to be a little different, so she left out the "R".
I am happy you went to Greece; that must have been exciting! How was the wedding, and who was it that exactly got married? Was it a family member, or was it just a friend? You will have to tell me about your Greek vacation in a future letter; I am just dying to hear the details!
Are you back at work yet? I bet your co-workers missed you like crazy, and I bet they were crazy with joy to see you again! Or are you still ON vacation until Monday?
Well, Forrest is crying again, so I have to see what is up with him. Take care, Louie, and God blses!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend here in Nashville, Deidre Brownwood. :)
