Warren said "I've finally lost it." What do you think?
I think it was awesome and you should patent that song for everyone that goes through what you two have been. So, how about a picture of how you made your house festive for the rest of us lazy people? I know you wanted to put up a tree for Warren..and I commend you for that..you are a great caretaker...give him a hug for me.
