Dear Jenna Aurora~

First of all, Jenna, thank you for wriring; it is good to hear from you again! Glad you and Michael are doing well; and am thrilled to hear that you are having a boy; how positively wonderful!! :) Congratulations!

Lots of babies are to be born in my world: not only you, but Sari in Finland (she has found out that she is having a little girl!), and my friend, M'Buti Ayala Moore-Sormiento, who lives here in Nashville, is expecting quadruplets. (This is not her first pregnancy, by the way; this is her fourth. She already has six children; now she is expecting four more! Goshamighty!! LOL) My duaghter, Lightning, is also expecting; she is having a little girl! So there will be a new Sandusky grandchild before too long! :)

I am happy to hear that Jerrica is okay; I am sorry that she is moving far away from you, but the city life is not for everyone. Yes, I live in the big city (as you do), but I happen to love Nashville. It is a large metropolitan city, but it is also small enough to where it hasn't lost any of its charm. I love the people, and I love that a city like Nashville offers so much to do, so one is hardly ever bored hree! Tell Jerrica I wish her the best, and that she will be in my prayers!

My daughter, Ronee', is fully recovered. She had a flare up of her JRA. She had a lot of pain, was nauseated, and felt bad enough to miss a few days of school, but she is all beter now, and she is back to her normal self. I will tell her that you asked about her; she will be pleased! :)

Johnny, meanwhile, is having a harder time: he is dealing with the ramifications of his disease getting worse, and he is also dealing with the fact that his girlfriend in California had to have one of her legs amputated. Rebekkah has pain insensitivity disorder, and she doesn't know it when she bangs her leg or burns it or injures it. It is a baffling condition, and it has caused her much grief; yet her courage is a shining testiment to the survival of the human spirit. Johnny's diesease is getting worse; he just had some tests at the MDA clinic, and the results came back. The results were not good, but on the other hand, the disease isn't progrssing as fast as most people with Duchenne's. Please keep Johnny (and Rebekkah) in your prayers; they are probably feeling vulnerable right now!

Jenna, I love the name Regis, and I also love the name Mattaq! Those are very unusual, but they are beautiful! That would go well with Doucet: Regis Doucet. Mattaq Doucet. I love it! :) Mattaq, though, sounds Inuit. I have never heard of that name other than Sikik's brother; his name is Mattaq, and that was the first time I heard that name! :)

The weather here is chilly but sunny; it promises to be a beautiful day. Hope the weather has warmed up there in Alaska (but somehow, I doubt it! LOL). Maybe you can see some more auroraa; it is starting to be that time of yeae fro the Northern Lights! :) Maybe we will see some here; I hope so! :)

Well, Jenna, this isn't much (I am at work; am supposed to be doing patient reports, but I wanted to get a quick e-mail to you!), so I will let you go. Take care, and God bless you always! Love and miss you bunches!

(((HUGS))) As always, your friend in Tennessee, Louie May. :D
