Oh my gosh! Michal! I had no idea about the credit stuff or the ROBBING AT GUNPOINT! (Yes, that required shouting). I'm sorry I missed your text last night. I was passed out.

I'm off tonight at 8.

I love Michal Lynn Schultz for her strength and for her smile throughout all the crap that was dealt to her. Will be praying for you. This is overwhelming stuff and I know exactly how it all goes down and how it feels. You're getting stronger, I promise!
