Its great!!! I love it! I picture you as having Lin's mom's head swinging in circles because she is so dizzy trying to read the statement!! It's like get real!!

I am just so thankful that Lin has John and his family to turn to. It is extremely hard to go thru it all alone. If her family doesn't wake up soon I can see them out of the picture real quick.
