Frenchie's Diary, Dedications, and Donations

My darling @LaisDeMarieDeFrance ,
I cherish the days we get to have our calls. I love seeing the smile on your face as we chat, and I hope I make you as happy as you make me. The moonlight stroll on the beach still awaits us.
Love you always,
Your forever guy

It's been a rough week for you, so here's a reminder that you should never forget. @gga

No way that I ever could.

I need a list of upbeat, pure happiness music. Something to listen to when depression is looming. For example, Happy by Bruno Mars, Don't Worry Be Happy by Bob Marley, Bubbly by Colbie Caillet, etc.

If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
Fifteen miles to the, love shack, love shack yeah

From one of my favorite 80s bands...

Good Work - The BoDeans
Closer to Free - The BoDeans

Also,
Head Over Heels - The Go-Go's

ETA: Changed my mind on "Good Work". Probably not a good fit, and The BoDeans arent everyone's taste (Americana / Folkabilly).
