Thank you very, very, very, very, very much. I’m not too good at talking in front of people but I just want to say thank you so much to everybody who showed love and support. Honestly words cannot express how grateful and thankful I am for everything that ya’ll have shown me. I just want to say thank you to everybody on the camp and on the team. Thank you to all the fans for showing love and support. We busted our ass for it so it, you know, feels good to, you know, walk away. We love you very much and I love grapes. Thank you so much.
