Is it terrible that I would have lied and said that I just really wanted to have a copy and couldn't find my original?

I lost mine too. The said thing about that is I also had a small cloth form my baptism too. Well, I shouldn't say I lost them, they were lost when my mom didn't pay her storage bill.

I'm so sorry about the storage losses. Monkeys lost a bunch of stuff, too. Not really from the storage bill, but from people breaking (ha) into his trailer and just from weather damage in general from the holes and stuff.

yeah it was kind of crappy. All the stuff I had from my childhood was lost. Tons of pictures, and a copy of my dads manuscript. Which I don't think anyone even has anymore. She told me someone broke in and stole everything, but now I know she just didn't pay her bill. You think she would have figured out she wasn't going to be able to pay the bill and let us go grab the important stuff.

What kind of manuscript? (If it's okay for me to ask.)
