Hey.
First: I owe you an apology for writing today, but everything has a reason behiind.
My family experienced a rough week with my mother who had an unespectured visit to the ER. Fortunately, everything is OK and my mother is in the middle of a long recovery, but she is fine and out of danger now.
90% of the time I use to write this newsletter every week was spent in the hospital taking care of my mother, and to be honest; I didn’t have the state of mind to give 100% to this newsletter.
Now, that she is out of danger; I can sit here and write to you.
So, sorry for being late. This is one of those moments when you asked yourself why I keep doing this every single day, and you realize that is not for money or fame; it’s because I truly want to spread the world about this amazing technology made by the Amazon crew.
Nothing more, nothing else.
Enough from me now.
