#EmojiMeme 28 - You are one of the smartest, most capable people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. You've had to deal with a lot, but you're still going strong and I think that's absolutely worth celebrating.

#EmojiMeme 113 - You are a dear part of my chosen family, and I don't tell you nearly often enough how much I appreciate that. Thank you.

#EmojiMeme 108 - I'm pretty sure that we have passed by each other at MFF for pretty close to 20 years! I enjoyed my brief visit to your fair city, and I hope to return soon and share a beer with you then.

#EmojiMeme 9 - I haven't had much time to hang out with you, but I am certain we would have a blast shooting the shit over drinks. You also confuse me for reasons that won't be discussed on this account, but we've already established that 😀

#EmojiMeme 8888 - You're amazing! You've had so many incredible experiences, but have also been through sheer hell and come out the other side upbeat and positive. I'd enjoy sharing a drink and chatting with you.

OK, this is closed. Dang, y'all - I had to make a spreadsheet to keep everything organized! It may be a bit before I post responses, but when I do I will tag them #EmojiMeme and make them part of this thread so people can mute if they want.
