Hello Chris,
That’s wonderful you had the opportunity to talk to Holly a few times and recieved collectibles from TWD for both you and Holly. I look forward to your journal update when you give hers to her after her treatment.
I love the Dollarama that I shop when it’s not too crowded. Crowds make me anxious.
Is there a special count down I could follow for when Holly hopes to be home?
Don’t tell my Steelers, but only because they’re not going to the playoffs this season, I’ll cheer for Holly’s Raven’s too.
To Holly, Holly, dear, you’ve got this! We’re all cheering you on one step at a time!!!
Hugs,
From Star.
