Hey Debi, what a wonderful tribute to a FanStory aficionado of the black arts Eean Black. This is a great tribute that shines a compassionate search light on a full ranging life. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, thanks Bro. I am so happy you like it. I appreciate all that you do and all the kind words and the lovely stars mean so much to me too.
You are the best. I hope your eyes are doing better. Or do yours get better.
I will be getting in with a world renown eye surgeon that my specialist set up. But now it had to be postponed because e of the covid.
So thanks again, and happy new year and know I appreciate you very much.

Love, Debi

Blessings. You are most welcome for the review and the celestial orbs. My eyes definitely got better after the cataract surgery, but I don't know what's happened, they have gone back approximately to where they were before the surgery I need to get back in and see the ophthalmologist. I love you my sis.

This is beautiful. Not only the sentiment, but the pure love of your fellow writers is evident. I like that you used Pavarotti for the Ave Maria. Although mine is much less refined and professional, that version is the one I followed. I tried the Bocelli. They are tenors, I am not. So strange you used Celine Dion, she's my favorite singer. You have gifted me so much. How can one repay?

Hi Eean, I wished I had looked here first because I answered your pm and was going to let you off the hook but asked a favor first and that was to get what it is like to review something for yourself. I know for myself, I have a hard time with receiving because I am a giver. I have a hard time with it not because I didn't appreciate it, it's just the recognition thing for me, I guess..
Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, thank you for doing this. I appreciate it so much and glad that you seem to like even my favorite singer, Celine. Billy Joel is my next favorite.
But no one in the world can sing Oh Holy Night and hold that last note like she can. I once almost went to a concert of hers alone. But found someone last minute.

Thanks again for your lovely review, my awesome friend. Love, Debi

That's a fan. When she was diagnosed with whatever it is she has, I actually thought she would never return. She did!

Thanks Santha, as I do know that Eean seemed very thankful for this birthday poem. That is cool that his is the same as Christmas Eve.
I love when the guys aren't' afraid to tell that they too would like a poem, for their feedback is always as lovely as the women.

Thanks again for all your sweet words for the poem too, my dear friend.
Love, Debi

Eeon sounds like the original Renaissance Man with all his talents. I am looking forward to reading some of his work. Your poem is certainly an inspiring one with all his talents listed.

What a nice birthday celebration poem for your friend. Very touching and you can tell that he is very loved. And through your writing, you get a sense of how proud he is of his son and how deeply he is loved as well. I love the picture.

It's nice to learn of all the talent Eean shares besides his writing on FanStory. He's been blessed, and in return, he is blessed with his relationship with his son. You can't ask for anything better than that. Your poem, as always, is a wonderful tribute, Debi. Thank you for sharing.
Always, Carol

Happy Birthday, Eean

Very nice artwork and poem to go with it, Debi. You did a good job highlighting many interesting things about Eean, who seems to have a lot of talent from writing to singing and painting to sculpting. He could open his own art museum. Talent also runs in the family.
Thanks for sharing everything, and Happy Birthday, Eean.
