Hi again, my friend :)

Yes, I realized to let people here know because it seems none of the 
team has seen my status.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. She needs our prayers, that is all 
what we could do :(


> I understand that Alex is very busy.  I have been so busy lately too.

Just sent an email to Lubuntu Team. I do now understand the real meaning 
of being busy. I don't and will not blame anyone. We are all volunteers. 
If someone fails to understand that (as I used to do) then it is his/her 
problem. Those who dedicate their time to help the world, are really 
noble, kind and great people. They do deserve our respect. I have 
learned, as always, the hard way and I hope I shall never forget this 
fact. It is near impossible to cope with real life and other things at 
the same time. I've been super busy lately to the point that I'm no 
longer a human. Believe it or not. So, I can't blame Alex nor anyone 
else from now and on.

Yep, saw that :)
I've been following myself with Tim with Ubuntu Technical Board and The 
Release Team. I've been fighting for the last 5 months to get an LTS 
status to Ubuntu GNOME as well. So, I know all these details :)

> I do hope you and your grandmother are better.

I hope that, thanks a lot :)


> Thanks my friend.

NO!
Thank you and everyone here who has shared his valuable time to do 
something for this project in order to draw a smile on people face. You 
guys are unique, kind and great.
