Thanks for your compliment RS =) I am sure others have given much more than
me, but it's nice to know that in this one case, I actually made a
difference =)

Sid – very very good story. You have a very good heart, and it has really paid off. Keep it up!

Hey Andre =)
Thanks! They actually extended an invitation to me (over email) if I wanted
to attend. I appreciated the gesture but ended up declining. I'm sure I
will meet with them again someday, but I didn't want to end up attending and
being a distraction/spectacle at the wedding and/or reception - "There's the
guy who gave him frying pans!".

I don't mind being a spectacle on any other day ;)

Beautiful story. Maybe Juan can invite you to the wedding and introduce you to Ivan as “my old friend Sid.”

Thanks Stephen!

Yes I still have my Vitamix – it has traveled all over with me. I haven't
used it in a month or two, but maybe I will in the new year =)

Wow, that was absolutely incredibly powerful! I kept expecting the story (goes to show how my mind can sometimes seek out the worst scenario) to end with you being scammed but when it ended on a good note, I was flabbergasted and grateful. That was a most AMAZING story! You really do have a great way with words.

I felt like I was there hovering above you invisibly, watching all of the things pass by from start to end. I'm grateful the story had a happy ending. Thank you so much for sharing it. It realy uplisted my heart this morning. And it was timely too because we are at the eve of a new year's day and your story provided a nugget of hope, light and love that everyone needs.

Awesome job! (P.S. I couldn't help but notice that your mom gave you a Vitamix blender – do you still have it?? I love mine! I use it almost every day except when I'm traveling or juicing like I'm doing right now – I'm on a 5 day juice feast after a week at my brother's house in VA).

You're welcome! It is a great story. It has an awesome beginning and it's filled with suspense: What will happen to the man? Did he even exist? And the ending just couldn't have been better! Definitely a recipe for the soul. :-)
