for me. I knew nothing about photomanip, I was enchanted how you had created such a beautiful scene. You were my inspiration and Leonard Cohen has a special place in my heart, as your fellow citizen and my amazing gift. Not only a great singer and poet but also he reminds me my dear Montreal sis 
My great pleasure, for me, you are the icing on the cake and sooo special

The wonderful time when my Istanbul sis came into my life! It's hard to believe there was ever a time when you knew nothing about manips! Knowing my image inspired you to explore photomanipulation, which led to your creating so many beautiful works of art… makes me so happy! You're the icing on my cake as well, and the Queen of Special!
