Saw Tania's list earlier this morning, Sam, greatly appreciate your uplifting expressions, my friend. May your day be as blessed too, a hui hou kakou! (the 'a' in kakou should have a Kahako or 'macron'; a line over the vowel, lengthens its sound, point being, it's meaning "until we meet again", without the macron, "let us meet again").
