  1. Thank you so much, darling, for adding Sabine and me to your Heroes' list. I am honoured and proud to find me here. I can say the same about you: you are a talented author and a wonderful friend. And you are so inspiring. When I open my computer in the morning the first thing I do is going to your blog because there is always something good for me in it. Thnak you. Love you to pieces.

  2. Sweetheart, just what Gesine says. Without you our world would be so much poorer. You are an inspiration to both of us, your will to go on and face whatever challenge is thrown your way, your enthusiasm, your wonderful talent, your grace and dignity in the face of suffering...Love you more than I can say!!!
