Thank you, thank you! We've had some really tough times but also some moments of euphoria to offset them. I remember the winter of 2017 most vividly. We were coming off the highs of SteemFest2 and the bottom just seemed to drop out of the price. We lost a LOT of good content creators during that time.  Yes, my Mom is still figuring out her path forward after losing my Dad. They were together over fifty years. She's doing incredibly well though considering all she's been through. We tried our best to make her birthday extra special this year. I really appreciate your presence here as well my friend. You've grown to be an extremely powerful and valuable voice here on Hive!
