You know when you arrived in Regina Saskatchewan(completely different from India)you had the same amount of luggage. No matter how many times you look through it there still are not enough warm clothes for the Saskatchewan winter. We are so glad you accepted the temporary assignment to come here. Our Family feels like we have know you for ever already and we will miss you terribly when you have to leave.
