    @eylah I hope you're ok, we are all going to miss you, you're a great valued member on here but I'm glad you are going to be around some chat sessions. It's understandable to take a bit of a break and I fully respect that. I hope you can come back soon though. Good luck with everything and remember you're never alone.

    @eylah I hope you are doing okay today and also this week in general general. It's important to take breaks and I respect your need for taking time away from here. However I still want to echo that we are always here if you do any support in the meantime or a listening ear. I will miss you but I hope your break is relaxing and allows for you to have a nice break too.
