Great story, and what a happy ending!

I would respectfully offer that, yes, you did win, but so did he. He won a meal (30 hrs!), he won an understanding that the foods he relented on were ok, he won and understanding that food's for eating not punishment or reward. But most importantly, he won the confidence that you're (plural) trustworthy. You said it, you meant it, and it happened. You're reliable, you can be counted on. And that's HUGE. It's only ok to venture into territory unknown if there's a sure retreat to safety. You gave him that assurance, you're a rock.

My congratulations to you all. :applause:
