Hello, dear friend @sunscape, good afternoon.
You're so right. These nine years have gone by so quickly. As you rightly mention, they haven't left many friends behind.
How wonderful it is to have met you and your family (son, daughter-in-law, grandson).
Happy ninth anniversary, dear friend.
Thank you so much! It is a pleasure meeting you and your grand daughter as well. It has been a fabulous journey and I look forward to many more years.
