Matthew:We don't know yet. Mrs. Lawson, I'll tell you one thing about your daughter. She is the
toughest lady, I've ever had for a girlfriend. I love her so much.
Mom:Thanks, Matt! She got that from her father. He always was tough when it came to
things like this. I can't ever remember a time when he cried about anything.
Matthew: I'm glad she is tough. Of course, it wouldn't matter to me, if she wasn't tough,
because, I would still love her.

Id still love you too. Now come over here and give me a big kiss and a hug.

have to go to the judge, to find out what to do now.
