Lynn, You truly have a gift. I have been a huge fan for a long time and tears come to my eyes often when I think about the Pattersons- just how much they feel like a part of my own life. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world!!!

Lynn, I look for your column f irst in any paper I pick up. I love the family, and follow along, worry and hope, just as I do for my own family. You are a part of my daily routine. When I retired to Florida for the winter, For Better or For Worse on the internet was my daily dose of home, in the morning. I, too am glad you will be doing the blended strip for a while. It would be nice to be your friend in real life.

Lynn -- I've been reading FBOFW for several years - took a long time to realize it was set in Canada (I think it was a reference to London that made me notice!) -- And still read you at least once a week on line. While you are in Stars and Stripes Europe, you're the only thing in there I want to read -- so am grateful for the opportunity to see the strip on line. It's a sanity check for me over here in Italy. I love the chance to experience the early years - the hybrid works for me! Hope you'll keep it up as long as you are having fun.

I am happy to have just discovered this website, because I have been wanting to thank Lynn for many years of entertainment. April was born at the same time as my son, and I cut out the strip that showed Elly and the baby crying through the night, and added it to the baby album. We were teaching bike riding at the same time, too. Yes, you have touched the lives of so many of us, and we thank you.
