Hey Caroline, it's Niambi from Starting Over. How have you been sweetheart? I woke up thinking about you all (and the Shining CD this morning). When I spoke with Siavash earlier in the year, he mentioned you might still have a copy. Could you please message or comment me back and let me know.
Hope you and your family are in the light and enjoying your time together. Continue to be blessed and a blessing sweet Caroline.
