Dear Saskia,
In the year 2000, a baby girl was born. She was..... named Saskia, just like you! Extraordinarily enough, a her birthday was March 9, 2000. And on that day a Saskia breakfast is always organized to celebrate your life as well. When Saskia was born it was already said: 'she knows what she wants' and that is still her motto even today on her 25th birthday.
Period
1612– 1642
