Dear Pauline and Friends,
I am very sorry for delaying my replies this long. I really did not know what to say, so great was my surprise at learning I had won the first place in the May BFA contest. In fact, not in my wildest dreams had I expected to ever make it again. But however it is, I sincerely apologize to all of you for showing up this late.
My warmest thanks go first to you Pauline, the wonderful creator of this fabulous contest, and to this forum's team of course. Then to Bogdan, as the creator and owner of this incredible community to which for some strange reason, both me and my life seem to be inextricably linked.
Before thanking all the dear friends who have shown up so far to congratulate me and all of us winners, I would like to first congratulate Sarah and Phil as my worthy fellow winners of this award.
Dear Sarah, your forum is so extraordinary that I was sure it would win the first place. And Phil, I voted for your forum as the best among the nominees (but this was before I made a last visit to Sarah's forum, upon which I was in doubt which was better. LOL).
But not only do I wish to congratulate you Sarah and Phil as my fellow winners, but above all to thank you both for congratulating me in the first place (I hope this has not sounded too confusing).
Next, let me express my thankful recognition to Linda and Patricia, Myrna and Donna, Georgios and Roger, and Judy, Sara and Karen, for showing up to express their kind congratulations to me and to my two dear fellow winners in the contest.
Last but not least, I want to thank all visitors, whether they have posted messages or not. Let me tell you all: I love you.
Sincerely,
Luis Miguel Goitizolo
