Louisiana fires off another letter to her California friend, Kendra Mae Williams, who lives in Soulsbysville. She is estatic to learn that her family is growing by leaps and bounds; and she is equally thrilled to know that her other friend, Louisa Mason, is to have twin girls. But then she is forced to quit writing after her elderly Cajun father suddenly becomes ill and needs an ambulance.

Dear Kendra Mae and Girls~
Hello! How are you guys doing? I was so happy to hear from you, not once but twice, and I am glad that things are going well for you. I have been keeping you and your precious family of Miracles in prayer; and I am happy to learn that Susie, Maria, and Lacey are safe with you. I also pray for them, that God helps them through the trauma encurred upon them by the abuse at the hands of their father (who, to me, is not a human being, he is nothing but a cruel and vicious animal!)! I still haven't heard from Audrey; I can only hope and pray that she is okay....time will only tell...
I was especially happy to learn that Louisa and Jeff are about to become the parents to twins, both girls! I was happy to learn that the pregnancy is progressing as well as well can be expected, but I must admit that I was a titch disappointed in learning that she was not having a boy. I was hoping that she was having a boy (or BOYS), but as long as the baby is healthy when born, who CARES what the baby's sex is?? LOL Please give the Masons all my love, and tell them that I will be writing to them whenever I can get the chance!
I am still busy writing, writing, and raising my village...seems that my work is never done, even though I am currently off work due to personal (and medical) reasons! Seems I am busier now than I was when I was working, even when I was doing all that excess overtime! LOL I am also taking care of my elderly parents; and they are doing well (for the most part), but I worry about daddy Armand so: he is so frail ever since his last heart surgery, and he still isn't completely over his surgery..it took a lot out of him, and he nearly died twice, once on the operating table, and once afterwards; CPR and the quick thinking of dedicated doctors and nurses (and the Grace of a Loving God) was the only things that were for him; and it was ONLY by God that daddy Armand is still alive today! But he IS a lot weaker than he used to be, and he does get tired easily, more so than he did prior to his last surgery...please keep him in your prayers...his name is Armand Moliere, and he could really use a touch from the Master Physician himself!
The kids are getting ready for school, and they are starting to FINALLY get bored of summer vacation. Imagine THAT if you can! LOL They are actually looking forward to getting ON the school bus come the day after Labor Day, and they are looking forward to seeing all their friends (and teachers) again! When does school start for your kids, or has it already done so? I hope the girls do well this year in school! (I hope MY kids do well in school, too! Janica will be joining them; she will be put into first grade, until her English skills have improved, and until she learns to read at the level of her classmates; she is still behind developmentally.)
How is the weather there in Soulsbysville? Here it is back to the threat of rain again, and it is HOT here. ICK! I will be soooo glad when autumn comes calling; I am more than ready for cooler temps (and THIS coming from a bona fide CAJUN! LOL)! Hope it is lovely there!
Well, I'd best go...Maman Therese is calling, and she says that something major is going on with my daddy Armand...she says that daddy Armand is having trouble breathing and that he needs an ambulance...just pray that it is nothing serious, and pray that he will be alright! God bless; I will keep you abreast as to what is going on; but right now, he appears to be in trouble...
(((HUGS))) and much love, your (suddenly worried) friend in Tennessee, Louie May. :(
