Super, super offensive intro. Mark, have you been through watching a spouse or parent die of cancer? Note that those seeing this will have known this person for more than two years.

I have been sitting next to my mother when she took her last breath after fighting cancer for a year.

Yes, I agree, comparison may not be appropriate and I really am comparing apples and oranges here, but dedicating 2 years of your life and sacrificing everything else (relationships, social life, sleep, etc.) does come at a cost - you feel really attached to what you do. That's why a lot of people say "my start-up is my baby".

I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm just emphasizing the fact that it was a really really emotional time.

Love & Light.

Respectfully withdrawn, of course, if you have.
Even if he has, it's a ridiculous intro.
