Memories stick with you forever, it's only that we part with people! And so did my sweet, good, vivid, overwhelming and remarkably retentive memories with you all enforced me to write this special message for you all. Some were phenomenal, while some were equally dreadful.Some made me shake with laughter and others left me teary-eyed.
