Oh I am so happy that I have opened my heart once again after my Snookie came to me in a dream. Schnitzel and Gypsy Rose and I have been playing like crazy and having so much fun. It feels so good but I have not laughed really laughed in so long my face hurts from it.
This may not be the place to put this but today I have yet another blessing that I want to tell you all about. I went with my daughter Paula for a pregnancy test today and she is going to have her second child sometime late Oct or Nov. I am so happy I cried, my heart feels real joy once again. Sara will have a brother or sister and she is 8 years old. I told Snookie and Chili Bean to watch over this new baby when he or she comes. I wish my little girls could have been here for this. Snookie loved babies and children and they dressed her up so many times. I am sure they will be able to be here in spirit when the baby comes. My daughter picked out several names and told me she would give me the honor of naming my grand child! Me, the babies Grammy, how many daughters would do that? Am I one of the most blessed women upon the face of the earth or what!!!!! Paula said that maybe this is just what I need to get even further on my way to healing. She said it might be the distraction I need to get me through. I am just so excited about the baby and have been out shopping already. Ann -------------------- My girls went to the Rainbow Bridge 6 weeks and 3 days apart. Snookie had cushing's disease, and later developed diabetes. Both had cancer, Snookie had cancer of the liver, and Chili Bean had cancer of the pallet. Chili Bean was our son's chihuahua but we kept her often throughout her life and she stayed with us for the last 9 months of her life. Chili Bean also had asthma and heart failure. We will see you in Heaven my precious darlings. Snookie Lynn Howard 2-04-94 - 12-26-04 Senorita Chili Bean Bubbles Howard 11-05-94 - 11-11-04 |

Thanks Lmye, I am really excited about my grandchild. I just hope that Sara wont be to jealous since she will be close to 9 when her sibling comes. Thats a long time to be an only child but she loves babies so she might do just fine. This will make my 7th grandchild!

Ann,
What wonderful news! All my best to you, Clair, Paula, and the rest of your family!!! Don't worry too much about Sara being jealous...she's such a wonderful little girl with a huge heart, I'm sure she will be delighted. When my little sister was born I was about Sara's age and I was so excited to be a big sister that it didn't even occur to me that I wasn't getting the same attention from my parents. I honestly thought (and still do) that she was a 'gift' sent just for me.  I'm so happy for you...enjoy every single moment! Love, Kristie |

Dear Kristie, I think you are right Sara will be a wonderful big sister. We have not told her yet so I don't know what she will say. Maybe she will be sweet like you and really think of it as a blessing. Love, Ann
Dear Snickster, Thanks so much my daughter and the family is just so happy. We all went out baby shopping and before it was confirmed my husband said let's go see what the baby clothes looks like this year. So I know Clair is so excited too.

Dear Ann:
Congratulations to the whole family!!! What joyous news ...I'm sure that little Sara will be just a wonderful older sister...

My daughter said to tell everyone thanks for all the well wishes with her new baby on the way. I showed her all your replies and pointed out that no one asked the names I picked out. Paula said Mom you must be the only nosey person on the board because that's the first thing you would have asked. She know me well I would have asked. When someone tells me part of something I think it is ok to ask more.
Shoot I have been known to ask strangers how they broke an arm or leg and that kind of thing. So far no one has not told me it wasn't any of my business. My mom used to tell me someday someone will say that to me. I am one who likes details from the beginning to the end. Anyway I have been out getting things for the baby and this has really helped me not to dwell on how much I miss my darling Snookie and Chili Bean. I have not cried for my girls but a few times since I found out I was getting another grand child. I feel God is blessing me once again.

I was just going to ask you what names you have picked out? What an honor your daughter has given you!! I was thinking " Amber Chili Howard" or "Hope Ann Snook Howard"
 Anyways you will have fun with this, I am glad you have found the place in your heart to tuck your babies in until that great day. Love Pamela
