I was overwhelmed the WHOLE time thinking - I can't believe Christa is letting me tackle this with her. This project is amazing. This project will rest in Jo's "hall of very few favorites" forEVER.<br /><br />And we both know the book MUST be dedicated to him. Nothing else would be right.<br />Except maybe to mention whichever genius made those green converse.<br /><br />You rock, Christa.<br /><br />And your writing is fucking brilliant.Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292808536017608740.post-52623681909099350522012-05-09T15:48:47.949-07:002012-05-09T15:48:47.949-07:00What an amazing friend, Christa.
