I am so honored to be considered. It is validation for work done with sincerity and heart. I may win, or I may not, but just to be nominated is enough.
I received an email that said (in translation): I take this opportunity to inform you that on May 15th in Valguarnera the award dedicated to Sicilians in the World, organized by CARSE (Coordination of the Sicilian Regional Emigration Association) will take place. I will propose you among the candidates. I am so honored to be considered. Just to be nominated is enough.
