Be thankful you were never engaged to him..

Thies and I were childhood friends. My grandparents lived next door to him and his family. Sadly, my grandparents have passed away and I no longer visit Santa Barbara. My grandparents home has gone through extensive remodeling on the inside and out and from what I can tell, it looks very nice. I miss Santa Barbara and my childhood friend. I hope he is doing well. Cheers!
