Firstly, I wanna apologize for not telling you all this before moving However this was a very sudden decision will considering my brothers health without thinking twice even most of my stuff is still yet to come

Moreover its a nice place even though I miss you and my hometown but in order to take care of my brother I had to move. We are living in a condo very aesthetically pleases as we used to dream of to live in.

Although its very tough for me to plan a visit before his recovery but it would be great if you can come visits that would be very heartwarming experience for both us and I will show you around there are so many places I would love to go with you.

Your lovely
