What a great story-I don't know how much the machine is worth, and whether the cost to give it away was dear to you, but to give something from your heart, no matter what it cost you, is priceless to your friend. I know you received something priceless back. You can tell by her smile. Being a resident of Wisconsin, I'm sure this gift, as well as the gift of your friendship meant the world to her. It means a lot to me, and I don't even know you. I'm PROUD of you!!
