My Sweet Senorita Chili Bean Bubbles Howard Nov. 5, 1994 - Nov. 11, 2004
God knew you'd be mine at the time of your birth for 10 years you dearly were loved while on this earth. For now my little one from you I had to part but forever and ever you will live in my heart. I hold the memories close of kisses left behind my sweet loving girl will remain forever in my mind. You were always there to play or to sit in my lap each day you were with me together we would nap. You were my sons dog but still I think he knew I considered myself Mama not just Grammy to you. Chili Bean you were loving and faithful to the end you were not just a dog you were my baby and my friend. 12 days with my son and 12 days with me you'd come at a run I'd plant kisses on your face you made life so much fun. Holding you as you took your last breath I found I was no coward my darling you will never be forgotten by your Grammy Ann Howard. Written by Ann Howard Sunday November 28, 2004

Thanks so much for reading my poem and please know that in the next to last line I was not saying anyone who could not stay with their baby was a coward I just needed to use it in there to rhyme with my last name although I really was worried I might not find the strength to stay with her. But I am so glad I did, she deserved to have someone help her over to the bridge and to go with love guiding her every step of the way.
Ann Pamela that is a wonderful poem keep writing things like that my friend it is healing and good for the soul. I have always written poems but so much more so after I lost my precious mother. -------------------- My girls went to the Rainbow Bridge 6 weeks and 3 days apart.

Thanks so much, I put the photo of Chili Bean and I on here because I wanted everyone to see how my eyes always lit up when she was with me. I am always worried about the way I write things. When I was in the 6th grade the teacher told my mother I had the strangest way of wording things and from that day on I have always worried about how people would perceive how I talk and word things. It is nice to hear you all say I have a gift with words. Thanks, Ann

Dear Ann:
You wrote such a beautiful, precious poem about, "Your Sweet Senorita Chili Bean Bubbles Howard".. Just to let you know......PERSONALLY, I FEEL THAT YOU WRITE PERFECTLY..... AND, THAT YOU ALSO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ACROSS JUST RIGHT..... Isn't it strange???.....(really, really strange)............how "teachers", (actually, anyone in AUTHORITY when we were just young kids....) from 'way back when', (in your particular case - 6th grade).. can "shape the way the way we think of things .....IN THE FUTURE"???? There are things that do bother me.............but this is "one area" that really GETS TO ME!!!!! Your quote......... QUOTE When I was in the 6th grade the teacher told my mother I had the strangest way of wording things and from that day on I have always worried about how people would perceive how I talk and word things. To me...........it's just very, very sad to see "HOW PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY can make us feel like when we are older....... Ann, I feel that you write just fine, and you DO get all of your thoughts across perfectly......... Please, keep writing just the way you have been, my friend......with "no thoughts back to that 6th grade teacher"... God Bless you..........Love, Denise xo -------------------- Our Beloved Girl, Ernestine (AKA) "Ernie-Bird"
