Dear Maria,

As we often said, time truly flies. It is hard to believe that more than six years have already passed since we began discussing such a wide range of topics in English.

Our 30-minute conversations at 6:00 morning became an important part of my daily life. They were not only my morning routine, but also a source of energy, motivation, and inspiration that helped me begin each day positively.

What I learned from you goes far beyond English proficiency. Through your intelligence, thoughtfulness, warmth, and genuine care, you shared valuable life lessons and helped me develop a broader and more positive outlook on life. I have always deeply appreciated our intellectual and engaging conversations.

Although the time has come for us to pause our lessons, the time I spent learning from you will remain with me and will never be forgotten. I sincerely hope you make a full recovery and wish you and your family good health, happiness, and all the very best.

Thank you, Maria, for your wonderful teaching, encouragement, and kindness over all these years. I truly appreciate everything you have given me, and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

With sincere gratitude,
Changhwan.
