Hello Glory and Emmanuel, Thank you for reaching out. I hope you are doing all right. I feel like it's been ages since we

last

spoke rather than 3 weeks ago. I appreciate your concern and the lovely photos that brought back all the wonderful memories we shared in Nasarawa. Despite all the misgivings I had, I was pleasantly surprised at the lovely landscape and hospitality of the people there. It was indeed a memorable experience. I'm sorry I couldn't reach out sooner as my mother was sick. I found out on my return and we've been running helter-skelter just to get her the best healthcare. Thankfully, she is much better now. The health scare made me realize how precious life is and for that reason, I will be celebrating my birthday next week. It will be my pleasure to have you over at my house for the occasion. My house is spacious with enough rooms to accommodate you.

Moreover

, you will

get to visit China and see its culture and landscape for yourself. I look forward to entertaining you and hope you can make it. Warm wishes, Emmy.
