How wonderful for you! And I agree... there is nothing else int he world like the steemit family!
@em3 was one of my first "friends" on steemit and we (he may not know this) have a friendly competition going on. You know... we are close to the same reputation... post EVERY day... comment the heck out of posts... yeah... very friendly.
Plus he loves kind of near me.. one day we'll meet up with our families hopefully!
