Thank you for your courage and frankness. Our children are happy when their parents are happy! You deserve real happiness in everything "," It's a great pity. But if it did not work out, I wish you find love, happiness and harmony with the other "," It has long been noticeable. It's a pity ... I hope you find the right one"," Everything that's done is for the best! I wish you happiness with your daughter and success in your sporting career! "
