Thanks And Dedication

I dedicate my work to my Mother and Father for all the hard work and long time devotion and dedication in making my dream become possible. PAW PAW is my hero, I will love my dad forever an ever, which more than words can express.
Special thanks go first to God for making the way in the times of need.
For opening doors when I felt that life had left me alone in the midst of the creative phases in life. For answering my prayers, I thank God for my wonderful children.
