--------More Christmas Memories 2007---

Dear Friends
While continued Internet and laptop challenges persist(don't ya just love the term "Challenges" when what ya really mean are PROBLEMS!, I'll simply send some more Christmas 2007 memories
Marie


I think Immaculate and I could pose for Beautiful American and Ugandan Woman!
Humble arn't I(smile)
Carol sent the most precious "BabiesFirst Christmas" outfit for the most precious of babies Michael. It fit him perfectly because it is a preemie size, though he is actually 5 mo. old.

Beautiful Sr. (nurse) Immaculate and her equally adorable daughter Sara
Bert (with others from the hospital ) climbed the Volcanic mountain. His story is he was the first to the top. I fear the truth is a bit different, but he had a great day.

    Hi Marie, first of all here's a big heart hug and joy burst to add to the spontaneous combustion you experience every time you are with Baby Michael, your friends and doing what you love to do, "be" with others. This is so evident in the pictures - which speak truth. Your smiles keep getting bigger, but maybe cause you have lost so much weight, the head and body around the smile is shrinking and that makes it look even more radiant. The eyes transmit so much life and light. Thank you for the photos, marie.
    Sorry to hear of some of the recent "challenges". It must be wonderful to feel so cared about as your relationships and presence are growing stronger there.
    It is awesome how the traveling on-site HIV testing Kits have been so well received and successful. What a pioneering thing you have done. Are more available to be sent, gratis? It has become such a helpful endeavor?
    I imagine you are counting the days for Carol's arrival. What wonderful and generous gifts are coming your way. What an amazing friend. You are so blessed with loyal sisters and brothers of the heart.
    Thank you again for keeping the blog going! Our prayers are with
    you concerning all JABBER information regarding people in need, decisions beyond your control, and upcoming events. We send our love and continued respect. Rejoicing with you as well as walking with you in spirit as you face your personal concerns.
    Love mj and kj To be continued via email...........
