Thank you from Apolo

This was posted on Apolo's official site, but I believe it's *addressed* to all of us!

I would like to Thank everyone who has been in support and watching the season 4 Dancing with the Stars. I am positive that without your love and votes, the result would not have been the same. It has been an incredible experience and almost a transformation from the start of the show until the finale. Every week I was becoming more comfortable opening up my real personality to the world as never before - and almost thrown into a situation which required me to show my work ethic, dedication, and will to do my best! All of my fans, friends, and supporters share these moments in time with me and I am so excited to have everyone on board!!!

This is yet another chapter in my life that will hopefully lead to many others and I wish you all to be with me! Thank you for keeping me grounded, positive, and staying true to myself. Here's to the next challenge!

That was really nice!! I really enjoyed the last 2 months watching him dance and am going to miss tuning in Monday nights for my weekly dose of Apolo/dancing!

Awww. I've been borderline teary all day. This did not help. I'm so glad to hear him express such heart felt appreciation. You're welcome Apolo! Believe me, if we could have done more than just watch and vote, we would have.

I read the letter last night, and I was thinking how nice of him to thank everyone. I feel proud to be his fan, and glad that we were able to watch him come out of his shell where his personality shined through and through.
