Restaurant owner Antonio Aguas talks for the first time publicly about his experience as a kidnap victim.
Antonio Aguas is not griping about much these days. In fact, he's just downright happy to be alive.
"I say, 'Thanks, God, for the second opportunity to be around,'" said the 43-year-old husband, father, brother, son and business owner.
Late last summer, Aguas lost six days of his life to kidnappers looking to be handed a chunk of the money that he's worked so hard to earn in the last 20 years.
