[Melanie] I don't think, you know
the profound effect you have on people yet.
I think you're discovering that and it's beautiful to watch.
[gentle music]
[Stella] You're unapologetically yourself,
deeply feminine and comfortable with that.
[Melanie] You're very much a healer and very powerful.
I know when you're feeling something
and you know when I'm experiencing something
and it's easy for us to connect in that way.
I think as I've gotten older,
I've been able to look to you for inspiration,
with my creativity
and the person I wanna be
and the things I wanna do.
Well, she's given me everything.
Beauty, like pure beauty, eternal beauty and grace.
That's what you've given me.
