Pet-Friendly Francie was based on a real event my own family faced when I was growing up. While most of the story is “make-believe”, many experiences still snuck their way into the tale. Here’s one tidbit. Just like Francie’s mother in the story, my real mom also also signs all our cards with LYFE. Can you guess what those four letters stand for?  OXO

P.S. My mom is also very full of love and life 🙂
