Writing exercise

Dear Alex,
I always thought I could get in touch with you by writing letters not by WeChat. Please allow me to express my feelings right now.
11500 kilometers, 12 hours’ time difference, 120 days apart- these numbers are special to all of us. Although I cannot meet you in Canada when you receive the birthday gift, but please do believe I am always thinking of you and caring you from Shanghai. In 120 days, I have the opportunities to get to know and understand the country you live in which is strange to me. Moreover, you share your joys and sorrows of your life with me. Even though we had some misunderstanding and fighting due to the long-distance relationships, I still have a grateful heart. Thanks for meeting you in my life, thanks for accepting each other, thanks for everything for the moment.
Despite the distance and time between us, I am looking forward to meet you again someday.
Yours,
Claire
