And don't forget, Here For You is ending, but we'll still be here for you on Forever35! Join us over there on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for more of the same thoughts, advice, and laughs.

On this final episode, we get some more game and activity suggestions, and a listener tells us about her very small backyard wedding that was surprisingly poignant.
