Congrats to the other winners!!!!
And thanks to the judges for their hard work and all the time they put into this, not just now but throughout the whole year.
This is... wow.
You know, I kind of thought this would be your reaction. Well done, Rachel. Your win was very well deserved. The Composition was a glorious piece of writing that grew better and better with every read. The last line was shiver-producing (in a beautiful way).
Congratulations!
Love, Deb

Thanks so much, judges. I'm surprised--no, stunned--and extremely grateful.
