I don't usually post unless there is something directly business related that I want to cover. However after reading this post I was moved to include my experience.
As many of you are aware I didn't make it to the Miami show. I had found out the week of the show that my mom was going to have open heart surgery the Friday of the show. I asked my co-workers to let people know why I wasn't attending InterNext. Immediately upon finding out clients and friends alike started calling and leaving me messages. I could not believe the support and prayers that my family received from the webmaster community. My family and I were truly moved by the whole experience.
My parents are very well aware of the industry that I am in and of course they have had their concerns, but after the outpouring of support they felt very good knowing that I was working with people that truly showed concern for others within their industry.
I want to publicly thank all of you who took the time to call me and to place my family in your thoughts and prayers. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to call many of you my friends. I am pleased to say that my mom is doing wonderfully. She is back at home and back to her old ways.
Steve, the news about your dad is amazing. I am very happy for you buddy! Thank you for the messages while in Miami. ;-)
Thanks again to everyone, and sorry for the sappy message but I had to get it out!
