So glad you got the T shirt in time and thanks for the kind comments. Post a photo of you in the shirt if you can. I like to add them to the gallery so others can see. Glad you said something about the post card. This is the first time they said they would mail me a post card. I was kind of shocked. But thought I was just being sensitive. Love that you are doing the Relay for Life. I need to sign up for one of those. ;-)

If Jill asks me to do something and she’s not afraid, I will never shy away. Even if they do start some s***, we will never go away. Wasn’t it Shakespeare who asked “what’s in a name?”
Love you sister
