Acknowledgement
Bearing in mind the fear of skipping someone while giving the names of our rapidly growing family members one by one and that an acknowledgement limited to only a few words will be unfair to all those beautiful people who I believe deserve much more than that, relying on your tolerance and understanding, I find it sufficient to just say,”God bless you all. May you always remain in love and affection.” Thousands of thanks to the entire Doublemoon and Pozitif crew, and mainly to the three musketeers of Pozitif; to Danny, from the Planet Studio of Canada; to Metin from Istanbul
Motif Studio; to my friend Scott who took great pains in the making of this album; to all of the musicians, especially to Göksel, who have contributed to the album with an incredible zeal and passion.
Dedication
To Nedim, whose smiling and friendly face is engraved on our minds and who suddenly slipped
away like a shooting star; to “Hibe”, whose name literally meaning “The gift of God”was later given by her grandmother and who was brought to life six hours after her mother was seriously wounded by Israeli soldiers on her way to the hospital.
With my prayer and struggle for leaving behind a world filled only with love and peace, devoid
of war, pain and fear, for all the children in the world…
