OMG how are you going to cope without these little dolls, they have sure played a big part in your life. Something you will forever cherish. Give them lots of hugs from me and one for you. Take care of yourself and miss you.

Teacha Heatha, they are such cute little buggers. Went to Edmonton for Rena and Rob's 50th Bd party. Was fun and saw your mom and dad. Didn't get to visit as much as I wanted but I will call them...take care
Its freezing here!!!!
Love ya Char
Wow-wee, what a treat that was to see those "little buggers", is right!! Some of their smiles and expressions just make me laugh...pack 'em up and bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!! It's winter here in Kelowna...a little early for what we are used to but, what the hell, It Is CANADA!!! Had a great time in Edmonton but, too fast and too many people to get an actual good visit in...ma and pa Gillison look as good as ever!!!

I miss those buggers so much! Give them huge hugs for me! How is Benard? Is he no longer attending I&I?
Oh, man, I wish you weren't leaving them. Is there a full time teacher around? Is there another volunteer coming anytime soon?
How is Prosper? Is he in China? Tell him to drop me a line!
Give everyone big hugs for me - especially Kofi!
Much love from REALLY COLD AND FREEZING Chicago,
Tatiana.
Oh, and where's Mawena? I think about her a lot. How is that beautiful child? How's her head? She keeping it clean and fungus-free?
We had 6 inches of snow last night.
