What a high powered show!<\/p>\n<p>After the show, I asked him to autograph his latest CD for me.<\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0 said, &#8220;You&#8217;re my brother. How can I sign an autograph my own brother?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See, I shared the same story with Yuri that I shared with the subscribers on my e-mail list.<\/p>\n<p>It really touched him.<\/p>\n<p>With tears in his eyes he said, &#8220;People always share the good&#8230; never the bad. But your story really proves that love truly conquers all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So on his CD he wrote&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>&#8220;Amor&#8230;.
