> [@Anaamika](#): > > “You’re dead to us”. But with that, put the happiest pictures on the cake. Get Princesses if you can. Make the writing pink. As cute and happy and loving as possible.

My retirement party has come and gone, and I thought I’d let you know the results.

I was very happy with the results. Just wanted to let everyone know. J. ---
