"When we came to Canada and started a family, which was the best time of my life."

"When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life."

"And now, Joe, 1 am seventy - nine years old. I have my health, l feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I was when we first met. This is the best time of my life."
