It was indeed a very successful fiesta celebration, unfortunately, Mam Cita wasn’t all too happy receiving her award, not that she wanted more for her, but because she feels that there could have been more deserving devotees to receive an award that night, or just simply no “awards giving” at all. As soon as her misgivings reached me, I calmed her down and told her not to worry about it, most devotees still believed that there is no such thing as “awards giving” when you do something for GOD and the Virgin Mary, you do not have to prove anything to the Almighty for what you have done,I hope she enjoyed the rest of the evening.
