Congratulations to all the winners!!!
Voting was especially difficult this year because all the nominees were such great stories! Especially congratulations to all of the first-time winners this year
.
I missed most of the ceremony because I was at my cousin's wedding shower and then had to go to mass for the pope, but I was there for a little bit, and had a blast!
Finally, thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for my story. I am still too shocked to make a coherent thank-you that covers everyone I would like to thank. But I would like to thank Tricia especially for being more than just a beta reader, but a great friend
