“Candy” – in case there’s confusion with the other things they put in their mouth

“Thank you for being part of my life” – may be wordy, but I think it says it all

Schmoopie February 11, 2011 at 1:06 pm #

Lots of great responses!

Rx (candy is medicine)

“I wish I were chocolate” (from the candy’s point of view)

how about just for awareness sake:

PTSD
ADHD
PDD
BP-NOS
BP
and on the back (love it Diane) PTW, MOI AND SUAYPK

then again theres always: SWAF (SEALED WITH A FIST)
