Well David, I do not know you but you sound like an awesome guy!
So you started on a September 7th and are leaving on that same day 7 years later. That is interesting for sure.
Funny, my daughter's birthday is September 7th or today as well. She is in heaven but I will always celebrate her birthday in some form.
I wish you much happiness and perhaps you will be back some day.
Blessings,
Marion :-)
